Super delicious cream puffs
Gluttony has a thousand forms and at RivaReno we are experts in the preparation of ice cream and in its combination with every delicacy: this is why today we are talking about cream puffs.
In purity, stacked in a profiterole, in a monumental croquembouche or accompanied by our daily fresh ice cream: cream puffs always have the power to put us in a good mood!
The history of choux pastry and the birth of filled puffs
The ancestor of the cream puff was a simple ball of dough, fried and then sprinkled with sugar similar to carnival tortelli, but history teaches us that goodness must not be set limits: this is how, together with the choux pastry, the stuffed puff is born and frosted.
First of all let’s say it loud and clear: the cream puff is an Italian dessert!
The choux pastry, in fact, only left for France because Caterina de’Medici moved there in 1533, to be married to Henry of Valois.
The Florentine noblewoman, in fact, brings with her her host of chefs, including Penterelli and Popelini who will invent, improve and, finally, fill the basic dough for the cream puffs.
Creative ideas and recipes for homemade or ready-made stuffed puffs
Immediately, thanks to the neutral taste of the puff pastry, the chefs’ imagination is unleashed with sweet and savory fillings, but it is the latter that conquer a special place in the hearts of all gourmands and in particular the most classic and versatile ones: cream, sour cream and, of course, chocolate.
Whether you want to try your hand at preparing the dough, or whether you prefer to buy ready-to-fill cream puffs, creativity must always be your main ingredient: for example, experimenting with double-flavored puffs with double filling.
For the creative ones, we also remind you that any basic cream can be flavored, for example with lemon or orange peel, enriched with chopped almonds and hazelnuts or with fresh fruit. And why not imagine some butter and jam cream puffs that you can also enjoy at breakfast?
The sweet cream puffs with daily fresh RivaReno ice cream
Have you ever thought of being able to decorate an ice cream cup with some stuffed puffs? We do, because the texture and temperature of our ice cream marry wonderfully with that of the creams to fill these delicious little desserts!
If ice creams tastes like cream, vanilla or fiordilatte go well with any filling, you can enhance the filling of the puffs by choosing the corresponding flavor or experiment with more whimsical mixes: pistachio puffs are delicious with Nougat ice cream, the chocolate ones go wonderfully with Coconut or to the Sicilian Cassata … But ours are just suggestions: the perfect combination does not exist, it’s just what you like best!
