What is Mascarpone Cream Puffs

Choux pastry rosettes baked until puffed, filled with whipped cream and mascarpone and dusted with icing sugar.

How to make Mascarpone Cream Puffs

Tips from the cook

  • Keep stirring the dough over the heat until it comes away from the pan, as that dries it out enough to puff.
  • Beat in the eggs gradually, and stop when the paste is thick and glossy.
  • Leave space between the rosettes, as they grow in the oven.
  • Cool the puffs completely before cutting and filling.
  • Fill just before serving, so the puffs stay crisp.
