Method
- 1. For the craquelin, in your Kenwood mixing bowl fitted with the K-Beater, cream the butter, sugars and flour together to make a paste.
- 2. Place this mix between two sheets of parchment paper and roll wafer thin and pop into the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- 3. For the choux, preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan.
- 4. Place the water, milk, sugar, salt and butter into a pot and heat gently over a low heat until the butter melts.
- 5. Once melted, turn up the heat and bring to a boil, at this point remove from the heat and stir in the flour.
- 6. Mix vigorously until you have a smooth dough, return to a medium/low heat and cook out for a minute.
- 7. Place this dough into the bowl of your Kenwood fitted with the kBeater and mix for a few minutes until the dough cools.
- 8. At this point add the eggs one at a time until you have a smooth pipeable batter.
- 9. Spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle.
- 10. Pipe 12 choux buns onto a lined baking tray, allowing space for them to spread during baking.
- 11. Remove the craquelin and using a cutter the same size as the choux buns, cut out 12 pieces and place a disc on top of each choux bun.
- 12. Pop into a preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- 13. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- 14. For the cheesecake filling, in the bowl of the Kenwood mixer, whisk together the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth, finally fold in the fresh berries and whipped cream.
- 15. Spoon this mix into a piping bag.
- 16. To assemble, cut each choux bun in half and pipe some delicious raspberry cheesecake filling into the center and top with the choux bun top. I finished my buns with a disc of white chocolate.
