Instead of being made with yeast dough, this take on a bee sting cake comes in the form of light and fluffy choux buns. In Paris there are countless patisseries selling wonderful eclairs and choux buns with delicious fillings – I absolutely love desserts. One day I came up with the idea of making choux buns with a bee sting topping. After a few failed attempts, I finally managed it and found that the topping works just as well on choux as it does on yeast dough.

Choux

Bring the water, butter, sugar and salt to the boil, reduce the heat. Add the flour all at once, stir with a wooden spoon for approx. 2 mins. until a smooth dough is formed which separates from the base of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat. Using the dough hook on a mixer, gradually mix in the eggs; the dough should be soft but not runny. Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a serrated nozzle (approx. 12 mm in diameter), pipe 12 rosettes (each approx. 6 cm in diameter) onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bee sting topping

Melt the sugar, cream, butter and honey in a small pan, boil fast for approx. 3 mins., stirring constantly. Stir in the almonds, allow to cool slightly, spread on top of the rosettes.

To bake

Approx. 30 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Do not open the oven during baking! Then switch the oven off and leave to dry out for approx. 15 mins. with the door slightly ajar, remove from the oven, leave to cool on a rack.

Filling

Place the cream, mascarpone, honey and vanilla seeds in a bowl, beat until stiff using the whisk attachment on a mixer. Transfer the filling to a piping bag with a serrated nozzle (approx. 12 mm in diameter), chill.

Figs

Mix the figs in a bowl with the Marsala and honey, leave to infuse for at least 30 mins.

Filled choux buns

Carefully cut open the choux. Spread the filling and figs over the bottom half of the choux, cover with the top half, dust with icing sugar.

Good to know
Tip: Instead of figs use other fruit. Instead of Marsala use Vin Santo.
Note: Kitchen scissors are great for cutting open the choux.
