A delightful and creamy dessert featuring choux pastry filled with banana cream and topped with chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 240 ml water
  • 113 g unsalted butter
  • 125 g all-purpose flour
  • 1.25 ml salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 454 g cream cheese, softened
  • 150 g powdered sugar, divided
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 240 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 28 g unsweetened chocolate, melted
  • 15 ml milk

Instructions

  1. Set oven temperature to 200°C.
  2. Combine water and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in flour and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until mixture forms a smooth ball. Remove from heat.
  3. Add eggs individually, beating thoroughly after each addition until mixture is glossy.
  4. Drop ten portions of approximately 120 ml of dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet, forming a 23 cm ring.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. Remove from oven and transfer immediately to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
  6. Blend softened cream cheese, 100 g powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until cohesive and smooth.
  7. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  8. Reserve 120 ml of the cream cheese mixture for ganache. Gently fold whipped cream and banana slices into remaining cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until needed.
  9. Carefully slice the top from each pastry. Pipe or spoon the banana cream filling inside. Replace pastry tops.
  10. In a small bowl, mix reserved cream cheese, 50 g powdered sugar, melted chocolate, and milk until smooth.
  11. Spoon a portion of chocolate ganache over each filled cream puff before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure that the cream cheese is well softened for easy blending.
  • Chilling the bowl for whipping cream can help achieve better peaks.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the filling by modifying the amount of powdered sugar.
