Chocolate-Hazelnut Choux au Craquelin

Cream puffs with a chocolate cookie topping and filled with a decadent Nutella pastry cream. A friend sent this customized recipe – made just for me! – by one of my favorite cookbook authors Erin McDowell for Christmas. And they are beyond amazing. Crispy, creamy, chocolatey... all the best things.

Paris Brest Pastry

Paris Brest is a decadent French pastry made from the same crisp, pâte à choux dough as cream puffs, generously filled with a luxurious hazelnut praline cream. They are defined by their circular shape, reminiscent of a bicycle wheel.
