Cream Puffs with Mandarin Oranges are soft, airy, and creamy pastry desserts filled with whipped cream and mandarin orange segments, perfect for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups heavy cream or thickened whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can mandarin orange segments, drained (or use fresh orange wedges)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and quickly stir in flour until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Return to low heat and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each until the dough becomes glossy and smooth.
  5. Use a spoon or piping bag to drop dollops of dough onto the tray, spaced apart.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool completely.
  7. Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  8. Slice each puff in half, fill with cream and a mandarin segment, then place the top back on.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t open the oven while baking or the puffs might collapse.
  • Use fresh mandarin slices for extra texture and flavor.
  • Can be made ahead and filled just before serving for maximum crispness.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend.
