NEW YORK, May 16 — The guys at Buzzfeed’s Tasty channel are at it again — they just came up with a twist on classic profiteroles with this recipe for cookies and cream puffs.
Here’s a list of ingredients you will need:
Servings: 15-20
25 chocolate sandwich cookies 2 egg yolks 2 cups half & half (may be substituted with cooking/light cream with 10 to 12 per cent fat content) ¼ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup cornstarch 1 cup water 8 tablespoons butter ½ cup flour 4 eggs
To prepare, first preheat your oven to 220°C.
Using a small knife, separate the chocolate cookie from the cream filling and place them into two separate bowls.
Crush the chocolate cookies in a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs and set this aside.
Place the egg yolks, half & half (or light cream), sugar and cornstarch in a pot and slowly bring this to medium-high heat, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps.
Once the mixture starts to thicken, add in half of the cookie cream filling and stir until smooth.
Transfer the cream mixture into a bowl before covering with a plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the cream while you prepare the puff.

In a pot, combine the water and butter and bring this mixture to a boil. Add the flour and half cup of the crushed cookie mixture, stirring until the dough comes together in a ball. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Add in the eggs one a time, stirring after each addition, until the dough becomes a silky shiny paste. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a large round tip.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe 1-inch mounds. Wet your fingers with some water and pat down the tails to prevent them from burning in the oven.
Bake these for 20-25 minutes until the pastry has risen considerably and the insides are dry.
Transfer the chilled pastry cream into a piping bag with a small tip. Poke a hole in the centre of the bottom of each cream puff using a sharp knife, and fill each puff with the pastry cream.
Microwave the reserved cookie cream filling for 30 seconds and stirring until smooth.
Dip the top of each filled cream puff into the melted cookie filling, dripping off any excess.
Sprinkle any remaining cookies crumbs on top of each cream puff. Enjoy!
