Super simple. Very tasty! A Dutch classic or better a Brabantse classic, the Bossche bol or Moorkop (outside of Brabant). A fulfilling treat filled with beaten cream and covered in a chocolate glaze.
Ingredients
Batter
- 200 ml water
- 100 gr butter
- 100 gr flour
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch baking powder
- 4 eggs
Filling
- 1000 ml heavy cream
- 60 gr sugar
- 20 gr vanilla sugar
Chocolate glaze
- 400 gr sugar
- 200 gr water
- 20 gr cacao
- 600 gr dark chocolate
Directions
Add the butter and water to a pan on medium heat and let the butter melt. Take of the flames
- Sieve in the flour and salt. Fry the roux for a couple of minutes while whisking. Add the batter to a mixing bowl and let cooldown (to at least 50 degrees Celsius)
- Beat the eggs and slowly whisk them through the batter. Stir until the batter just runs off your spatula.
- Mix in the baking powder and put it in a piping bag
- Spray a tray with non-stick spray and dust with flour before piping 10 equal circles onto it.
- Add them to a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius or 430 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes. Spray some water in the oven to create some steam and do not open the door while baking.
- Mix water, sugar and cocoa powder in a pan on medium heat and bring to a boil until syrupy (about 105 degrees Celsius)
- Take off the heat and incorporate the chocolate until thick enough to stay on a spoon and still spreadable.
- Take a piece of pastry and dip into the chocolate glaze to coat. Let cooldown in the fridge
- For the filling, stiff up some heavy cream with sugar and vanilla sugar.
- Make a hole in the bottom of the pastries and fill with the whipped cream. Store in the fridge until serving.
- Enjoy!
