Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Cream Puffs
- In a medium pot, whisk together 40g of fresh lemon juice, 60g of granulated sugar, and 1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk over low heat. Continuously stir for about 10 minutes or until thickened.
- Strain the curd to remove solids, then mix in 50g of cold cubed unsalted butter until fully melted. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate.
- Melt 250g of high-quality white chocolate with a pinch of yellow chocolate color in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- Evenly coat the interior of silicone molds with the melted chocolate. Allow to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine 25g of water, 40g of glucose syrup, and 85g of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil and monitor temperature with a candy thermometer until it reaches 117ºC.
- Whip 50g of egg whites in a stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually whisk in the syrup, followed by 10g of vanilla paste, and continue to whip until glossy.
- Roll out 100g of marzipan until 2-3 mm thick. Cut out circles matching the diameter of the chocolate shells.
- Fill each chocolate shell with the marshmallow fluff. Add a dollop of lemon curd to each shell and place a marzipan circle on top.
- Seal with reserved melted chocolate and freeze for about 15 minutes to set.
- Gently release the cream puffs from the molds. Optionally, adorn with edible gold leaf for finishing touch.
