Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (or chocolate chips)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the water, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  3. Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
  5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until they are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
  7. Prepare the banana pudding filling by whisking together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Heat until thickened.
  8. Temper the egg yolks with the hot milk mixture, then combine back into the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and mashed banana, then cool to room temperature.
  10. Cut a small slit in each puff and pipe in the filling.
  11. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together, dip each filled puff, and place on a tray to set.

Notes

Ensure the dough is at the right temperature before adding eggs for a fluffy texture. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
