Name This Dish Cream Puffs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 2/3 cup dulce de leche, plus more for topping
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2 -inch round tip.
- Combine the butter, granulated sugar, salt and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat; sift the flour into the saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon to make a paste.
- Return to medium heat and stir until the dough pulls away from the side of the pan and is slightly shiny, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until slightly cooled, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the whole eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth before adding the next.
- Transfer the dough to the pastry bag.
- Pipe 1-inch mounds of dough 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Smooth the tops with a damp fingertip.
- Beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water; brush on the dough mounds.
- Bake 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the puffs are golden brown and crisp, about 25 more minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream and the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form; refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted.
- Cut the puffs in half crosswise with a serrated knife; sandwich with the sliced bananas, dulce de leche and whipped cream.
- Drizzle the puffs with the melted chocolate and more dulce de leche.
