Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 1/8 l Milk
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 100 g Butter
  • 200 g Flour
  • 6 Eggs (size M)
  • 100 g Dark chocolate coating
  • 50 g Whole milk couverture
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp Chocolate flakes
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring milk, 1/8 litre water, salt and butter to the boil in a saucepan. Add the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough separates as a lump from the bottom of the pot. Stir in 1 egg, allow to cool for 10 minutes, stir in 3 eggs one after the other.

  2. 2

    Put the choux pastry into a piping bag with a large star-shaped spout and squirt 12 cream puffs (3 cm wide each) onto a baking tray (approx. 32 x 37 cm) lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, chop the chocolate coating roughly and melt it over a warm water bath. Let it cool down a little. Separate 2 eggs. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar in a tall beaker with the whisks of the hand mixer until creamy.

  4. 4

    Separately beat egg whites and cream until stiff. Let the chocolate coating slowly run into the egg yolk while stirring. Stir in half of the cream immediately with a whisk. Fold in the remaining cream and then fold in the beaten egg white in portions.

  5. 5

    Chill for 1/2 hour. Cut the cream puff open horizontally. Pour chocolate mousse into a piping bag with a large star-shaped spout and spray onto the bases. Place the lid on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
