These cream puffs, in particular, are split and filled with fragrant blood orange whipped cream, then topped with dark chocolate ganache and a few sprinkles for good measure (an A-plus decorating tip I got from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baked-theblog.com\/blueberry-whipped-earl-grey-chocolate-ganache-cream-puffs\/\">Amy Ho<\/a>).

In fact, each step of this recipe fits neatly into either the easy or easy &#8211; moderate category, meaning even beginners can make these impressive desserts. Your piping skills might need some practice (mine still do, despite making these in culinary school and beyond), but you\u2019ll eventually get the hang of it. And in the meantime, the cream puffs are still totally delicious to eat. If you really want to dive deep into choux piping, but aren\u2019t sure where to start, I highly recommend good old youtube videos. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Close up shot of finished Choux \u00e0 la Cr\u00e8me\" class=\"wp-image-2717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cream-Puffs-7.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that while each part of the recipe does take a bit of time, if you make your blood orange curd the day before, you can have the choux puffs baked, stuffed, and topped the next morning.
