A light, fluffy banana cream puff dessert with homemade choux pastry, whipped cream filling, and chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large bananas (sliced)
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla or banana pudding (chilled)
  • Melted chocolate or chocolate ganache (for drizzling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a saucepan, combine butter, water, and salt over medium heat. Once boiling, stir in flour until a dough forms. Cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool.
  3. In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  4. Slice cooled puffs open. Fill with pudding, banana slices, and whipped cream.
  5. Drizzle melted chocolate over the tops and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use chilled heavy cream for best whipping results.
  • Let puffs cool completely before filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Serve immediately after assembling for best texture.
