This easy Bavarian Cream Puff recipe is a keeper. The classic cream puffs turn out every time, and are filled with an easy Bavarian cream knockoff recipe. So good! #Creampuff #recipe #realfood #homemade

With Valentine’s day right around the corner, I wanted to share one of my family’s favorite desserts. I call them Easy Bavarian Cream Puffs! They are divine and perfect for the sweetie in your life.  I will be sharing two recipes with you. One is a typical cream puff recipe and let me tell you, it will not disappoint. Cream puffs always used to intimidate me, that is until I got brave enough to try them. They are surprisingly easy to make. You will be shocked.

 Just a warning.
They are always a crowd pleaser, so be prepared to see jaws drop, eyes pop, and lots of praise. There will also be jealous onlookers wishing they would have thought to bring a cool dessert like that, but we wont worry about those people. Let’s just focus on the positive here.

The other recipe is my easy knockoff version of Bavarian cream. Real Bavarian cream takes longer, and is a bit more temperamental than I like, but if you have the time, by all means go ahead and make the real stuff!

Both recipes are wonderful for using up those farm fresh eggs. Some weeks we can go through our eggs so quick, but other weeks I feel I have more than I know what to do with. That’s when a recipe like this can come in very handy. This recipe uses 7 eggs, so for those of you with chickens keep this recipe on hand. 🙂  Hope you enjoy my easy Bavarian cream puff recipe!

Gradually add the milk and mix well. In a separate bowl whisk egg yolks and add to the pan. Mix well.

Bring mixture to a boil over medium high heat stirring constantly until mixture becomes thick and has the consistency of pudding.

Take off heat and add butter and vanilla to the pan, stirring until well combined and butter is melted.

Cool completely. I put mine in the fridge to help speed up the cooling process.   You have just created a vanilla custard. This is heavenly on its own, but to give it a Bavarian cream texture it needs to be a little lighter. We do this by taking a 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, whipping it until soft  peaks form and gently folding the whipped cream into the custard mixture.

Now you have what I consider an easy version of Bavarian cream. Place into a piping bag to be used in the cream puff recipe.

Cream Puff Recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter
1 Cup of water
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
1 cup flour
4 eggs

Method:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In a sauce pan bring butter, water and salt to a boil. Add 1 cup of flour to the boiling liquid all at once and stir until a ball forms.

Take pan off heat and let mixture cool for 5 minutes. After the flour mixture has cooled, start beating in the eggs, one at a time. Mixing well after each egg.

Mixture should be smooth and glossy after you beat in your 4th egg.

Place dough by spoonfuls on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.

    I think I messed up somehow. I followed it exactly, but it came out more mashed potato like. It’s cooling now but it’s super think and kinda chunky. It was jiggly like pudding when I took it off but looks nothing like the pic. Help

      Hmm..I am not sure about chunks. It is thicker but not not chucky.

    I read reviews and thought I’d give it a try. I was hoping it would make a great cake filling. But I definitely would not recommend for a cake. The custard turned glue like pretty quickly. Adding the half cup of whipped heaving cream did not seem like enough to make this filling light and fluffy. Mine remained like a custard. 😩

      Yeah, I think this works best as a filling for the cream puffs but I have never tried it for a cake.
