Ingredients

• Water - 125 ml
• Unsalted margarine - 50 g
• All-purpose flour - 75 g
• Eggs - 2 large
• Sugar - 50 g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Kosher cream (or non-dairy whipped topping) - 200 ml
• Cornstarch - 1 tbsp
• Granulated sugar for caramel - 100 g
• Glucose syrup - 30 g

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. In a saucepan, combine water and margarine over medium heat until the margarine melts.
3. Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in flour until it forms a dough.
4. Return the pan to low heat for 2-3 minutes to dry out the dough slightly.
5. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is shiny and smooth.
7. Pipe small circles (about 3 cm) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for the choux puffs.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed; let cool.
9. In a separate bowl, beat the kosher cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
10. Fill the cooled choux puffs with the whipped cream using a piping bag.
11. For the caramel, heat granulated sugar and glucose syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until it melts and turns golden.
12. Dip the tops of the filled choux puffs into the caramel and place them upright on a serving plate.
13. Drizzle any remaining caramel over the assembled pastries and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
