How to Make Sfinge Di San Giuseppe St Joseph's Day Cream Puffs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- **Puff Pastry Shell:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 2 cups all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to dry out the dough slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (or use a spoon) and pipe or drop 2-inch mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- **Cream Filling:** While the puffs are baking, prepare the filling. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1/2 lemon until smooth and fluffy.
- Let the puffs cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use a small knife to carefully cut a small slice off the top of each puff.
- Fill each puff generously with the cream filling using a piping bag or spoon.
- Replace the small slice on top of the filling.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and enjoy!
