Petisue (Filipino Pâte à Choux) with No-Churn Avocado Ice Cream

(4)
"#ad Let’s make some Petisue with my friends @feedfeed @latourangelle! You are probably asking what is Petisue? Well, it’s actually a very cute story. I was reading through a Philippine Breads Cookbook by Gene Gonzalez and one of the recipes he mentions is a Petisue and I kept reading the ingredients and the directions and thought this is very much like a French Pâte à Choux. Turns out it is! With the language differences and the inability to pronounce it the French way, it was translated to Petisue instead. It made me chuckle and I thought more people need to know about this! Here is a small batch recipe and instead of using the traditional butter, we are going to replace it with La Tourangelle Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It still comes out magically puffy. To make this a full-on dessert, we are going to fill the Petisue with a no-churn Avocado Ice Cream. It’s a play on how Filipino’s traditionally eat avocados. With a touch of condensed milk. It’s then finished with some melted chocolate. #latourangelle #feedfeed #petisue #pateachoux #creampuff #avocadoicecream #chocolatedrizzle #dessert #plateddessert #madefromscratch #bakedfromscratch #madeathome #springdessert #filipinofoodstories"
