Ingredients | 4-6 Balls | 20-30 balls |
Pastry Cream | ||
Milk | 50ml | 200ml |
Egg | 12,5 (< 1tbsp) | 1 (50ml) |
Corn Starch | 5gr (1 tsp) | 20gr (1 tbsp) |
Sugar | 17.5gr (1 tbsp) | 70gr (3,5tbsp) |
Vanilla | 1 tsp | ½ Tbsp |
Filling | ||
Sugar | 17.5gr (1 tbsp) | 70 gr (3.5 tbsp) |
Egg | 12,5 (< 1tbsp) | 1 (50 ml) |
Honey | 6ml (1 tsp) | 25 ml (1.5 tbsp) |
Coconut Syrup | 1 tsp | ½ tbsp |
Coconut shavings | 50gr (2.5 tbsp) | 200gr |
- Prepare the baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat (Silpat).
- Prepare the piping bag with the piping tip inserted.
- Heat the milk to 80º maximum on a medium to low flame.
- While the milk is warming, place the remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix.
- Once the milk reaches between 70-80º, pour into the bowl with the other ingredients and mix vigorously using the whisk.
- Pour everything back into the sauce pan and heat once again using medium heat. Slowly whisk the mix until it thickens considerably (like honey) and then remove from the heat.
- Once again, vigorously whisk the mix so as to remove any lumps (minimum 30 seconds).
- Place onto the heat once again and stir slowly using the whisk allowing the mix to gently bubble/boil. This helps remove any corn starch flavor. Do this for at least 30 seconds then remove from the heat, pouring the pastry cream into a clean bowl. Allow it cool for around 5 minutes and then we add all the other ingredients EXCEPT for the coconut shavings. Mix well using a spatula ensuring that you gently fold in these ingredients.
- Add the coconut shavings then once again gently fold these into the mix.
- Turn the oven on to 160º (top, bottom with the fan).
- Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before putting the mix into a piping bag.
- Holding the piping bag vertically straight, gently squeeze and apply the mixture to the baking tray.
- Cook for 20 minutes or until golden.
