    These little puffs are crafted using puff pastry, making them foolproof cream puffs!

    Though they may not be traditional cream puffs made from scratch, these puff pastry cream puffs offer a delightful treat without the intensive hand-whisking. Perfect for those with wrist issues like mine!

    These cream puffs combine the flaky, buttery goodness of puff pastry with a creamy filling. They're a crowd-pleaser and can be whipped up quickly.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's easy to make. With this "cheater" method, we can have delicious puff pastries in a shorter timeframe. Perfect for a simple dessert to celebrate any occasion.
    2. They're delicious. Not too sweet, not too tart, a perfect balance of flaky, rich, buttery, tangy, and sweet.
    3. This recipe is beginner friendly. Just starting with homemade desserts and treats? There's a lot to learn, but this recipe is a great one to try because it'll give you some basic understanding and experience needed to branch off to try other pastries later.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredient Notes:

    Fresh raspberries- Fresh raspberries work great, but thawed frozen berries will work fine too.

    Puff Pastry- The shells of these cream puffs are puff pastry, so make sure to have some thawed puff pastry ready to go. For more puff pastry recipes, make sure to check out my Strawberry Cream Cheese Turnovers and Puff Pastry Egg Tart.

    Eggwash- You will need an egg and some water to make your own eggwash. Brushing it over the top of the puff pastry before it bakes will give us a nice golden color.

    Semi-sweet chocolate chips- This is optional, but adding a drizzle of melted chocolate really makes these cream puffs feel gourmet and helps to give them a contrast of flavor.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Valentines Cream Puffs

    Step 1: Place the metal mixing bowl and mixers in the freezer for later and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    Thaw puff pastry. Cut heart shapes. Place on baking sheet. Brush with egg wash.

    Step 2: Thaw the puff pastry (Image 1).

    Step 3: Combine the water and egg in a small bowl for the egg wash. Set aside for later.

    Step 4: Cut out heart shapes from the puff pastry, trying to get them as close together as possible to avoid wasting the dough (Image 2).

    Step 5: Place cut out hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all are cut (Image 3).

    Step 6: Brush the tops with the egg wash (Image 4).

    Step 7: Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.

    Mash raspberries with sugar. Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold in raspberry mixture.

    Step 8: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries and half of the sugar (Image 5).

    Step 9: Beat the whipping cream at high speed in the bowl from the freezer until soft peaks form (Image 6).

    Step 10: Add in the remaining sugar and vanilla and then continue beating until stiff peaks form.

    Step 11: Fold in the raspberry mixture until well mixed (Images 7&8).

    Pipe whipped cream onto half pastry hearts. Top with remaining halves. Drizzle chocolate.

    Step 12: Place the raspberry whipped cream into a bag and snip the corner (Image 9).

    Step 13: Slice your cooled puff pastry hearts in half horizontally and pipe the cream onto the bottom half before topping with the top half like a sandwich (Images 10&11).

    Step 14: Continue until all hearts have been filled.

    Step 15: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

    Step 16: Drizzle over the hearts and add sprinkles if desired (Image 12).

    Step 17: Place in the fridge for the chocolate to set (about 5-10 minutes).

    Serve cold and enjoy.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Custom Shapes- You can make any size or shape you want with these puff pastry sheets, but my favorites have been the 2 inch diameter-sized hearts. They're small enough for 2 or 3 bites and you can make a lot with two sheets of dough.
    2. Planning Ahead- The only real trick is making sure to plan out exactly how you're going to cut them from the thawed dough because you can't re-roll it and expect good results. Puff pastry only puffs once.
    3. Refreshing Filling- The raspberry cream filling is not overly sweet. In fact, it's pretty refreshing with the fresh berry flavors and just enough sweetness to accent it. You can however add more sugar, to taste if you want it sweeter.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    What is a cream puff?

    A cream puff is a light pastry (usually round) and filled with whipped cream or a cream filling.

    How long do cream puffs last?

    If stored in an airtight container in the fridge, you can expect your cream puffs to last about 2 days. For best results eat them soon rather than later so that they don't become soggy.

    • 2 sheets puff pastry (1 box) ($6.24)

    • 1 large egg ($0.15)
    • 1 Tablespoon water ($0.00)

    Instructions

    • Thaw your puff pastry on the counter for a good hour or until it's thawed enough to cut and unfold without breaking.
    • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
    • In a small bowl combine the egg and the water and beat well. Set aside. This is the egg wash.
    • Place the metal bowl of a stand mixer and the electric beaters in the freezer. This will help get the whipped cream to form up more quickly.
    • Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out the shapes from the puff pastry. Try to squeeze the hearts as close together as you can because you will not be able to re-roll the dough for another use.
    • Place the heart puff pastries on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
    • Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool completely.
    • In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with half of the sugar. If desired, you can strain the juice to remove seeds, or leave them in.
    • Remove the metal bowl and beaters from the freezer.
    • Pour the whipping cream into the bowl and beat on high until soft peaks form (about 1-2 minutes).
    • Add in the vanilla and the remaining sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form (about another 3 minutes).
    • Fold in the raspberry mixture until well combined.
    • Place the raspberry whipped cream into a bag with the corner snipped off, or use a pastry bag with fitted round nozzle.
    • Slice the puff pastry hearts in half horizontally and pipe the whipped cream onto the bottom half before topping with the other half like a sandwich.
    • Continue until all cream puffs have been filled.
    • In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth.
    • Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the cream puffs and add festive sprinkles if desired.
    • Place in fridge for about 5-10 minutes until the chocolate has set. Serve cold and enjoy.

    Notes

    You can make these puff pastry sheets into any size or shape you prefer. 2-inch diameter hearts work well, but you can choose your own. When working with puff pastry, plan your cuts carefully, as you can't re-roll it.
    The raspberry cream filling is moderately sweet, with a refreshing, fresh berry flavor. You can adjust the sugar to your liking.
    Store cream puffs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For the best texture, enjoy them promptly. Cream puffs can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw for about 15 minutes on the counter before eating.
