Coffee Cheese Puffs

Coffee Cheese Puffs

1. Put water, salt, sugar, and butter into the pot together, heat over medium heat and stir slightly to melt the butter completely. Continue to heat until the water boils. After the water boils, turn to a low heat and pour all the flour into the pot at once

2. Use a wooden spoon to stir quickly to make the flour and water completely mix together (you can directly hold the four chopsticks together to stir if the amount is small). Be sure to stir quickly until the flour and water are all fused together. After the pan is non-stick, turn off the heat to remove the pan from the stove. (At this time, all the flour is blanched)

3. When the batter is not too hot (the temperature is about 60-65 degrees Celsius), you can add the beaten eggs. First add a small amount of eggs, stir completely until the batter absorbs the eggs, and then add it again; at this time, be sure to note that all the eggs in the recipe do not need to be added. After adding the eggs, the batter will become more and more moist and smooth. ; Use chopsticks to pick up the batter. The batter is in the shape of an inverted triangle as shown in the picture. This level means OK. No need to continue adding eggs

4. The easiest way to shape puffs is to use a small spoon to directly scoop up the puff dough and place it on the baking tray (the baking tray is covered with tin foil). Keep a certain distance between each dough to prevent the dough from touching together after it swells. (Or you can use a chrysanthemum-shaped flower mouth to squeeze the batter on the baking tray. The puffs baked in this way have patterns on the surface). Put the baking tray into the oven that has been preheated to 210 degrees. Bake for 10-15 minutes. When the puffs have fully expanded, lower the temperature to 180 degrees, and continue to bake for 20-30 minutes, until the surface is brown and ready to go out of the oven. Be sure to bake them in place, otherwise the puffs will collapse after they are out of the oven. Remember not to open the oven door in the middle of baking

5. After the puffs are out of the oven, let them cool completely before filling them with fillings. While waiting for the puffs to cool down, we can make coffee cheese filling. After the cream cheese is softened at room temperature (or heated in water), add powdered sugar and beat with a whisk until smooth; dissolve 2 teaspoons of coffee powder with 2 teaspoons of hot water to become coffee liquid. Pour the coffee liquid into the cream cheese

6. Continue to beat with a whisk to make the coffee liquid and cheese mix evenly; pour the whipped cream in several times. After each pour, use a whisk to fully whisk until the whipped cream is added

7. After adding the whipped cream, the cheese filling is ready, fill the cheese filling into the puff, and you are done. There are usually two filling methods: poke a hole at the bottom of the puff with your fingers, put the filling into the piping tape, and squeeze the filling into the hole with a round hole flower mouth. Or directly cut the puffs with a knife in the middle, fill in the filling with a small spoon, and then close the puffs and it's OK. After filling the filling, pour some chocolate sauce on the puff, and then serve it, it looks more attractive

Tips:

1. For those who are used to eating cream puffs, try this cheese-flavored puffs. The rich fragrance is called "luxury". About how to make puffs, I once had a very detailed "guide". For children's shoes who like puffs, you can click here to view it. Some precautions that have been mentioned, I will not repeat it here;
2. After the puff is done, if you don't eat it right away, don't rush to fill it with the filling, otherwise the puff will not be crispy after it absorbs the moisture of the filling. Fill in the filling before eating;
3. The amount of this coffee cheese filling and whipped cream can be adjusted according to your own preferences. If you like light taste, you can increase the amount of whipped cream. If you like a strong taste, you can reduce the amount of whipped cream. It is recommended to use animal whipped cream instead of non-dairy cream;
4. The chocolate sauce that is poured on the surface of the puffs can be purchased in the supermarket (such as Hershey's chocolate sauce), or it can be mixed with dark chocolate and light cream in a ratio of 1:1, heated in water and melted, and poured on the puffs . There are many children's shoes who bought finished chocolate sauces such as Hershey's chocolate sauce. I don't know where to use them. I think this type of chocolate sauce is used to decorate desserts. Spread bread. Coffee is very suitable for baking ingredients. It's not very suitable, especially, it can't replace chocolate.
