Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Extra fresh raspberries for garnish

How to Make Raspberry Cream Puffs

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine water and butter over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts.
3. Add the flour and salt to the saucepan, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
4. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
5. Spoon or pipe the dough into small mounds (about 1.5 inches in diameter) on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cream puffs are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
7. While the puffs cool, prepare the raspberry cream. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
8. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries for a burst of flavor and color.
9. To make the raspberry sauce, combine the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of raspberries and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Strain the sauce to remove seeds, if desired.
10. Once the cream puffs have cooled, slice the tops off and fill them generously with the raspberry cream. Replace the tops and drizzle with raspberry sauce. Garnish with extra fresh raspberries.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is fully melted before adding flour for a smooth dough.
• Do not open the oven door while baking to maintain proper puffing.
• For best flavor, use fresh raspberries in both the cream and sauce.
• Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume.

Easy Variations

• Substitute strawberries or blueberries for the raspberries for a different berry flavor.
• Add a splash of vanilla extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce instead of raspberry sauce for a decadent twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A light dusting of powdered sugar for a simple presentation.
• Herbal tea or coffee to complement the dessert’s sweetness.

Raspberry Cream Puffs are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftover cream puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cream may soften the pastry, so it’s advisable to fill them just before serving.
