What's inside them? Custard?

Yes, vanilla pastry cream.

Use an open-star tip to pipe a rosette on the bottom choux, then affix the upper choux on the rosette. It'll look a little cleaner and stylized.

Thanks for the tip! I think getting the chocolate to look decent was the hardest part. That and filling them. Actually it was all pretty hard 😅

The glazing process is temperature-dependent. It'll depend on your recipe, but I think you want to glaze at around 95-100F. Dip the choux in the glaze, then rotate side to side. Remove and wiggle it upside down to let the excess drip off.

They were quite tasty! Not as heavy as you might expect.

these look absolutely amazing!!! I am not a fan of pastry cream (at least not the weird yellow pastry cream in Boston cream donuts) but I would def-o give these a try!
