  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Brightens the cream filling
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Sweetens the filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whips to provide rich texture; can use coconut cream

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of milk, ½ cup of butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of flour until it pulls away from the sides.
  2. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes. Add 4 room temperature eggs one at a time, using an electric mixer on medium speed until fully incorporated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the choux pastry to a piping bag and pipe small rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden.
  4. Remove from the oven and let the puffs cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1 cup of mashed blackberries, zest and juice of 1 lime until well combined.
  6. Slice the tops off the cooled puffs and fill with blackberry lime cream, then replace the tops and serve.
