Hey everyone! Just curious if anyone else has checked out "Mashle: Magic and Muscles" Season 2 or gotten absolutely hooked on its catchy opening track, "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born"? It's so catchy, I've got a serious case of last song syndrome (LSS) with it! Also, something that really caught my attention in the series is the iconic cream puff, so I'm sharing the recipe below.

Ingredients
For the Choux Pastry:
- 1/2 cup (120ml) water
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of edible gold dust for that magical sparkle
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Edible gold leaf (optional)
Making the Choux Pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt, bringing it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- Spoon or pipe 12 dough mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden. Then, turn off the oven, crack it open slightly, and let the puffs cool inside to dry out for about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the edible gold dust for a magical touch.
- Once the choux pastries have cooled, cut them in half horizontally.
- Pipe or spoon the magical cream filling into the bottom half of each puff, then replace the top half.
- Dust the filled cream puffs with powdered sugar and, if desired, apply a piece of edible gold leaf for an extra magical effect.
