Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
  • Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
  • Crushed pecans or walnuts (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Once butter melts, remove from heat. Stir in flour and salt quickly.
  3. Return to medium heat, stirring constantly until dough pulls away from the pan sides and forms a ball.
  4. Let dough cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy.
  5. Transfer dough to a piping bag with a large round tip. Pipe 1.5-inch mounds onto baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional powdered sugar.
  8. Whip the mixture with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  9. Slice the tops off cooled puffs or poke a small hole in the bottom.
  10. Fill each puff with the pumpkin maple cream using a piping bag.
  11. Top with additional whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed pecans or walnuts, if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated for proper puffing.
  • Allow choux pastry to cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • Do not open the oven door during the initial baking period to avoid deflated puffs.
  • Fill the puffs just before serving for the best texture.
