Make-ahead ice cream puffs recipe

Make-Ahead Ice Cream Puffs

June 11, 2016

We’ve got the perfect make-ahead dessert to serve for any occasion! These no-mess ice cream puffs are simple to make and unbelievably versatile.

We’re all about making your life easier. When you’re preparing the puffs, place your piping bag (with the tip on it) inside a drinking glass to hold it upright while you fill the bag. Fold the sides of the bag over the edge of the glass and fill ‘er up!

This easy-to-assemble treat will wow your guests every time! Make the puffs then pre-scoop your ice cream so it is pop-out-of-the-freezer ready. When it’s go-time, simply slice open the puffs, add the ice cream and drizzle with chocolate hot fudge sauce. Easy peasy!

what you'll need
  

puffs

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp flaky salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs

assembly

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • 1 recipe chocolate hot fudge sauce

let's do it
 

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Bring water, butter, and salt to a rolling boil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball. Continue cooking approximately 2 minutes, stirring constantly until a film of cooked flour develops on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and transfer dough to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
  • Pulse the dough a few times to cool mixture slightly then begin adding the eggs, blending each one thoroughly before adding the next—the finished dough will resemble a sticky paste.
  • Fit a piping bag with a round tip or snip a corner of a plastic bag to allow a ½" opening. Fill the piping bag with dough and pipe 18 large “chocolate kiss” shapes onto the prepared pan. If you make the dough about 1½" wide at the base and about 1½" tall there should be enough room on a cookie sheet for 18 puffs. Space them out as far as possible so that they don’t steam one another as they bake.
  • Wet your finger with a bit of water and press down the point of the “kiss” rounding off the top of the dough. Bake 20–25 minutes until they become golden brown and the outsides appear dry. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack while you make the sauce.
  • Prepare the chocolate hot fudge sauce according to the recipe.
  • To assemble, cut puffs in half using a serrated knife. Fill the bottom half with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Place the top of the puff on top of ice cream and drizzle the tops with the warm chocolate hot fudge sauce. Serve immediately.

One Last Thing

If the chocolate sauce thickens or cools before you’ve had a chance to pour it over the puffs, return it to the heat and add a tablespoon of cream until you achieve the desired consistency.
