Paris-Brest with Pineapple Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup dried pineapple, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a simmer over medium heat. Add the flour and stir until the mixture comes together in a ball. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well with each addition, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
4. Using a piping bag with a large star tip, pipe 8-10 large circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
5. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until it thickens. Fold in the chopped pineapple.
6. Cut the top off each pastry shell and fill with the whipped pineapple cream. Replace the tops and dust with powdered sugar.
7. Serve immediately.
