Matcha White Chocolate Paris-brest Recipe

Preparation and Assembly

1. 1

   Make the Choux Pastry

   In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Incorporate Eggs

   Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.

3. 3

   Pipe the Dough

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe two rings onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, one on top of the other to create a donut shape.

4. 4

   Bake the Pastry

   Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking.

5. 5

   Prepare the Matcha White Chocolate Cream

   Melt white chocolate in a double boiler. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in melted white chocolate and matcha powder until well combined.

6. 6

   Assemble the Paris-Brest

   Once the choux pastry is cool, slice in half horizontally. Fill the bottom half with matcha white chocolate cream, sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries, and place the top half over it.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve with a scoop of Lappert's matcha ice cream on the side.
