Blueberry Whipped Earl Grey Chocolate Ganache Cream Puffs

July 23, 2019 by Amy Ho Leave a Comment

Earl grey tea adds floral flavour to these white chocolate ganache cream puffs, filled with a blueberry whipped cream. Topped with a pretty blueberry glaze, these little choux pastries will knock your socks off every time.

Based on the amount of choux I have made in the last little while, I could start a blog dedicated to cream puffs. Maybe I could include an eclair or Paris-Brest recipe in that blog to keep things interesting.

I could call the blog Choux Corner, If the Choux Fits, or some other terrible pun involving the pronunciation of ‘choux’ (which actually sounds a lot like ‘shoo’ than ‘cho’).

Rhubarb Cornmeal Cake with Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream

With whipped cream and fresh berries, this healthy-ish rhubarb cornmeal cake is the essential spring dessert. It makes the perfect afternoon snack or cheeky breakfast. With cream or without, it’s up to you!

A cross between a pancake and a Yorkshire pudding, it’s slightly sweet and often topped with fresh fruit and maple syrup, but has the egg taste and puff factor of a Yorkshire pudding. This dish whips up quickly, too. Throw the ingredients into a blender, pour the batter into a piping hot pan and watch it rise before your eyes!

Aside from a fresh loaf of homemade sourdough, a dutch baby with fruit is quite possibly the best breakfast ever dreamed up. And this cherry almond dutch baby is no exception.…
