Cream Puffs (Yumbrik) Recipe

Cream Puffs (Yumbrik) Recipe

For the Choux Pastry (21 pcs):

  • Water – 200 ml (200 g)
  • Butter – 100 g
  • Salt – 1/3 tsp
  • Sugar – 1.5 tsp
  • Flour – 150 g
  • Eggs – 2 medium, beaten

For the Cream Filling:

  • Cottage Cheese (Tvorog) – 300 g, strained if too wet
  • Powdered Sugar – 80 g
  • Vanilla Sugar – 2 tsp
  • Heavy Cream (30% or higher) – 300 g, whipped to stiff peaks (or thick sour cream)
  1. Make the Choux Pastry:
    • In a medium saucepan, heat water, butter, salt, and sugar until the butter melts and it just begins to boil. Be careful not to let it evaporate.
    • Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
    • Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly before adding the eggs. Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing until you have a smooth, shiny dough.
  2. Bake the Puffs:
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
    • Spoon or pipe the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming small balls.
    • Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden and puffed. Don’t open the oven door while they’re baking as the drafts can cause them to collapse.
  3. Prepare the Cream Filling:
    • In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cottage cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
  4. Assemble the Puffs:
    • Once the puffs have cooled, slice them open halfway or just remove a small cap from the top.
    • Pipe or spoon the cream filling into the center of each puff.
  5. Finish and Serve:
    • Dust the cream puffs with additional powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
    • Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Enjoy these delightful cream puffs as a sweet treat for any special occasion or as a delightful dessert with your afternoon tea or coffee. They are as enjoyable to eat as they are beautiful to behold.
