Ingredients
  

Choux Pastry
  • 1 cup water for boiling
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
Cream Filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced

Method
 

Make the Choux Pastry
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a saucepan, combine water and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
  2. Add flour, sugar, and salt to the saucepan, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
  4. Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe small mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Fold in sliced strawberries gently.
  3. Once the choux pastry is cool, cut a small hole in the bottom of each puff and fill with the cream mixture using a piping bag.
