My second attempt had a nice air pocket to be filled with chocolate custard. It's nice and airy inside. Instead of a pastry piping bag, I used a small ice cream scoop.
The plain topped puff is filled with vanilla ice cream. What a light taste with a punch of flavor. Wait for my croquembouche. The holidays are around the corner, so my wife suggests I make the crunch in the mouth dessert.
