INGREDIENTS

For the cream puffs:

210ml (¾ cup) of water

A pinch of salt

90g (6 tbsp) of butter

110g (1 cup) of all-purpose flour

3 eggs

For the mushrooms:

Extra virgin olive oil

1 clove of garlic

160g of mushrooms

Parsley, chopped

Salt, to taste

For the filling:

4g (1 tsp) of gelatin powder

25g (2 tbsp) of butter

120ml (½ cup) of heavy cream

130g of Gorgonzola cheese

METHOD

1. In a saucepan, combine the water, salt, and butter. Heat gently until the butter is melted.

2. Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.

4. Pipe small mounds of dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Smooth the tops with a finger moistened with water.

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for about 30 minutes, until puffed and golden. Let cool completely.

6. For the mushrooms: heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan, add the garlic and mushrooms, and sauté for a few minutes. Season with salt and parsley, stir well, then remove from the heat and let cool.

7. For the filling: in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over a little cold water and let it bloom for about 10 minutes.

8. In a saucepan, melt the butter with the cream and Gorgonzola over low heat, stirring until smooth. Add the gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.

9. Remove from the heat and blend the mixture with an immersion blender. Let it cool completely.

10. Once cooled, whip the Gorgonzola cream with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.

11. Cut off the tops of the cream puffs. Fill each base with the Gorgonzola cream, top with a few mushrooms, and close with the puff’s cap.

12. Arrange the mushroom puffs on a serving plate and enjoy!
