Choux Pastry

Praline Paste

Praline Cream

Caramelized Hazelnuts

Yuzu Crème Anglaise

Method

Choux Pastry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Choux Pastry

    In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Incorporate eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.

  2. 2

    Pipe the Choux

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Transfer dough to a piping bag and pipe a ring shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.

Praline Paste

  1. 3

    Make Praline Paste

    Roast hazelnuts at 180°C (350°F) until golden. In a saucepan, melt sugar until amber, add hazelnuts, and stir to coat. Cool and blend until smooth.

Praline Cream

  1. 4

    Prepare Praline Cream

    Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in praline paste and powdered sugar until well combined.

Caramelized Hazelnuts

  1. 5

    Caramelize Hazelnuts

    In a saucepan, melt sugar until golden. Add hazelnuts and stir quickly to coat. Pour onto parchment paper to cool and harden.

Yuzu Crème Anglaise

  1. 6

    Make Yuzu Crème Anglaise

    In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, and half of the sugar. Heat until just below boiling. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with remaining sugar. Slowly add hot milk mixture to egg yolks, whisking continuously. Return to heat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in yuzu juice.
