  • Total Time: 60

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball.
  • Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then add eggs one at a time. Mix well after each addition.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until soft peaks form.
  • Once the puffs are cooled, slice the tops off and fill each with whipped cream. Replace the tops and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
