Creampuffs featuring matcha and Ube (Mashle)

These cream puffs come in three flavors — vanilla, matcha, and ube — because Mashle wouldn’t settle for anything less than magic-filled pastry. Soft shell, dreamy filling, 100% wand-free.

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs (large), room temperature

• 1 cup all-purpose flour measured correctly

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 tsp granulated sugar

• 8 Tbsp unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup whole milk

• 1/2 cup water

Ingredients for Cream Filling and Garnish:

• 2 cup heavy whipping cream chilled

• 10 oz cream cheese 

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar 

Flavors:

• 1 tbsp matcha powder

• 1 tbsp Ube extract 

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F 

2. Making the dough: In a medium / small saucepan, combine water, whole milk, butter, sugar, salt & bring to a boil over medium heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove from heat and add in flour. Once flour is incorporated, place back on heat and stir constantly for about 2 minutes to release extra moisture and partially cook flour. The dough will come together and you’ll see a film form on the bottom of the pan.

3. Transfer the dough immediately to a large mixing bowl and beat using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute to cool the mixture down. Slowly add in 4 room temperature eggs. One at a time, until fully incorporated. Beat another minute until dough is smooth and forms a thick ribbon when it’s pulled up. 

4. Transfer the dough to a pipping bag fitted with a half inch round tip. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe 28 puffs each 1 ½ in in diameter and 1 ½ in tall. Keep 1 inch apart. With a wet finger tip, pat down any peaks that form. 

5. Place in a 425F oven for 10 minutes, and then reduce heat to 325F and bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

6. Make the cream: in a large bowl combine COLD whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat over medium high speed for about 2 minutes or until fluffy with stiff peaks. Transfer cream into a piping bag fitted with a star shape tip. And assemble cream puffs. Dust with powdered sugar, serve and enjoy! 😉
