- 2 teaspoons gelatin
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup butter
For the chouquettes dough
ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, sifted
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- pearl sugar, as needed
Method
Step 1
Make the creamy mango filling. Soak the gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water for 15 minutes to moisturize it. Drain water and set aside.
Step 2
Bring the mango puree to a simmer. In a bowl whisk together eggs and sugar and then pour warm mango puree. Transfer mango and egg mixture back into the saucepan and heat gently, like a creme anglaise, constantly stirring. (You want the mixture at 180°F, it should not boil). Add the gelatine and process with a hand blender until emulsified. Let cool to 104°F, or slightly warmer than your skin, then blend in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Place in a bowl, then place plastic wrap directly on the surface. Let sit in the fridge at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3
To make the choux pastry: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
In a saucepan bring milk, water, salt, honey and butter to a boil. When the mixture begins to simmer, remove it from the heat and pour in the flour all at once.
Step 5
Whisk until the dough comes away from the pan and a white deposit forms at the bottom. Then pour into a large bowl or food processor bowl and stir to cool until the stream is gone. Add the eggs gradually and continue processing. When the dough forms a crest, it’s ready.
Step 6
Pipe your choux pastry about 2 inches apart on prepared pan and sprinkle them with pearl sugar. Bake for about 30-35 minutes. Let cool before proceeding to the filling.
Step 7
Beat mango filling before piping to make it supple. Pipe into cooled chouquettes.
