Grand Marnier Cream Puffs

Napoleons

Fruit Squares

Method

Grand Marnier Cream Puffs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Choux Pastry

    In a medium saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add flour and salt all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in Grand Marnier.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cream Puffs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Cut the tops off the cooled puffs and fill them with the whipped cream. Replace the tops.

Napoleons

  1. 5

    Prepare Puff Pastry

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into rectangles. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool.

  2. 6

    Make Pastry Cream

    In a saucepan, heat milk until just boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Gradually add hot milk to the egg mixture while whisking. Pour back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Stir in vanilla extract and let cool.

  3. 7

    Assemble Napoleons

    Layer pastry cream between two pieces of puff pastry. Top with another layer of pastry and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Fruit Squares

  1. 8

    Prepare the Batter

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.

  2. 9

    Add the Fruit

    Fold in the mixed fresh fruits gently into the batter until evenly distributed.

  3. 10

    Bake the Squares

    Pour the batter into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before cutting into squares.

  4. 11

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Once cooled, dust the fruit squares with powdered sugar before serving.
