Cream Puffs with Espresso Cream Fil Ingredients
- ¼ tsp pure almond extract
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 eggs, beaten
- ¾ Cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp instant espresso
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate broken into smaller pieces
- ½ tsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
Preparation
For the cream puff
Preheat the oven to 40
Place the butter and the water into a small sauce pan on the stove top and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, sift the flour into a bowl to ensure that there are no lumps and the flour is super fine. Once the butter and water has come to a boil remove from the heat, add the flour and mix well. Return to the heat and heat for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and place in the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes. You may run the whisk attachment to help the mixture to cool. Do not add the eggs while it is still very hot or the eggs will cook and this wont turn out right.Once the mixture has cooled, add the eggs by a small drizzle while whisking on a medium speed. Allow mixture to continue whisking at a medium high speed for about 5 minutes. The idea being to whip a lot of air into the batter.While the mixture is whipping, prepare a half sheet rimmed baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper. Once the batter is done whisking, transfer to a piping bag fitted with a inch plain tip. Pipe into circles the size of a quarter on the parchment paper. Leave some space between for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven (this is a VERY important part) and pierce each cream puff with a toothpick or skewer so that the steam can escape from inside.
Put the cream puffs back in the oven and allow to bake for another 4-5 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door. Allow the cream puffs to sit in the oven until cooled.For the espresso cream filling
Whip together the cream, sugar, instant espresso, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla and almond until thick and creamy.Using the smaller star tip, pierce the side of each cream puff and fill with cream filling. Use your own judgment concerning when each is filled.For the chocolate sauce
In a microwave safe dish and the microwave set on high, melt the chocolate and butter together by microwaving for 30 seconds at a time. Chocolate is ready when it is completely melted and combined with the butter.Using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate across the top of the cream puffs and serve immediately.**Refrigerate cream puffs if you are not going to eat them immediately they will last in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.
Cream of Ham & Potato Soup Ingredients
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 4 Tbs butter
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 cups water, or any stock but beef
- 2 medium potatoes, well scrubbed and cut in chunks--leave skin ON
- 1 cup thickly diced ham
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream, light cream or half and half cream
- salt to taste*
Preparation
In a deep, heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add the onions, celery and basil.
Saute until the celery and onions are just beginning to get tender.
Add the water/stock, the potatoes, ham and the pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender.
Mix the cornstarch (the amount is not a typo) with the 3/4 cup water.
Slowly add enough of the cornstarch/water mixture (you may not have to add it all, do it in small steps) to produce a VERY THICK mixture. The spoon should practically stand up in this. It should be the consistency of a very thick pudding. Stir constantly until the mixture bubbles.
GRADUALLY add cream, stirring constantly, to thin the soup out to the desired consistency. You may have to use MORE cream, depending on the desired thickness. I like mine thick, like stew, so the 1 cup of cream works well. Your mileage may vary.
Add salt if you feel it needs some.
Heat through (do not boil) and serve with a salad or crusty roll.
