Custard Cream Puff Recipe FAQs
Custard is thick and smooth, made with egg yolks, sugar, and milk. Cream filling, like whipped cream or pastry cream, is lighter.
Underbaking might be the issue. Ensure your oven is hot, bake until golden, and let them cool in the oven slightly ajar.
Let cream puffs cool completely before filling. Adding a thin layer of chocolate inside can also help prevent sogginess.
Flat puffs may be due to underbaking or opening the oven too soon. Bake until golden, and keep the oven closed during baking.
It’s best not to. Store them in the fridge for up to two days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze and thaw when needed.
