Ingredients
Scale
- 125g water
- 125g whole milk
- 100g unsalted butter
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 200g heavy cream
- 100g praline paste
- 50g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sliced almonds (for topping)
- Additional powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Choux Pastry: In a saucepan, combine water, milk, and butter. Heat until boiling. Stir in flour and salt until a ball forms. Cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time until smooth.
- Shape the Pastry: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Pipe two circles of dough on a baking sheet to form a ring. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake the Pastry: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the Praline Cream: Whip heavy cream, then fold in praline paste, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Paris-Brest: Slice the cooled pastry in half, fill with praline cream, and dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Ensure the choux pastry is completely cooled before filling to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- Can substitute praline paste with other flavored creams if desired.
