Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup pistachio paste
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon rosewater
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch circle as a guide.
- In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and dough is glossy. Transfer dough to a piping bag and pipe along the drawn circle to form a ring.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and golden. Turn off oven, prick puffs with a knife to release steam, and let cool inside with the door ajar for 10 minutes. Then cool completely on a rack.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in pistachio paste until smooth. Slice the cooled puff ring horizontally and fill with pistachio cream.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and rosewater until smooth. Drizzle over the filled ring and garnish with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
