Hazelnut Chocolate Cream Puffs

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 roll ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 200 g chocolate hazelnut spread warmed
  • 50 g hazelnuts chopped
  • 400 ml double cream
  • 3 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  • Prepare the puff pastry by cutting it into even rectangles, then brush each piece with egg wash and lightly sprinkle over the brown sugar.
  • Bake the pastry in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for around 10 minutes until golden, puffed and crisp.
  • While the pastry bakes, chop the hazelnuts and warm the chocolate hazelnut spread in the microwave until smooth and pourable. Transfer it into a piping bag or keep it ready to spoon.
  • Whip the cream by adding the double cream, icing sugar and vanilla bean paste to a bowl, then whisk until softly whipped. The cream should hold its shape but still be smooth. Transfer the cream into a piping bag and cut the tip at a slight angle right before piping.
  • Assemble the cream puffs by allowing the pastry to cool slightly, then slicing each piece in half horizontally. Add a layer of chocolate spread to the base, sprinkle over chopped hazelnuts, then add the whipped cream. Place the top layer back on and finish with extra chocolate drizzle and hazelnuts.
