Durian Puffs

I long wanted to try making puffs and since we have some remainder durians kept in the freezer from our KL's trip, I decided to bake some!

For the puffs fillings, I merely mashed up the durians and piped them into the puffs so that everything is original! Husband reserved some plain choux pastry to go with his ice-creams...Yummy!! ^o^

The recipe came from Florence blog.

Choux Pastry

170ml water

100g butter
