I cut off the tops of the cooled choux pastries and fill/decorate them as follows:
I use a mixture of equal parts whipped cream and vanilla custard. Both parts are from
this recipe.
The icing consists of powdered sugar and cocoa powder stirred together with a spoon in a small bowl. A little water is added while whisking vigorously until it has a good, thick consistency.
I filled my buns with vanilla custard and whipped cream, and placed the tops back on.
The tops were then spread with icing and sprinkled with gold dust.
Enjoy.
