Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 5.75 oz all-purpose flour (about 1 ⅓ cups)
  • 1 cup eggs (approx. 4 large eggs + 1 egg white = 8 ounces)
  • ¾ cup full fat eggnog
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 6 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat until boiling. Remove from heat and stir in flour until combined.
  3. Return to heat and stir until the dough forms a ball. Allow to cool slightly before mixing in eggs one at a time.
  4. Pipe 1.5-inch rounds onto prepared sheets and bake at 425°F for 10–12 minutes; reduce temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 18–20 minutes until golden.
  5. For the filling, heat eggnog and milk until just boiling. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and eggs; temper with the hot mixture before thickening on the stove.
  6. Cool pastry cream completely before folding in whipped heavy cream.
  7. Fill cooled puffs with the eggnog mixture and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
