Instructions
- Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, ube extract, salt, and cornstarch until smooth and light yellow.
- Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles form at the edges.

- Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then add ube extract and continue until heavy peaks form. Fold in pastry cream.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar for the ube craquelin, mix in flour, salt, and ube extract until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough and freeze until firm. Use a cutter to punch out discs.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, combine water, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Stir in flour, create a smooth ball dough, cool slightly, and mix in eggs gradually to form a glossy dough.
- Pipe mounds onto a baking sheet, place craquelin discs on top.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 400°F, then reduce to 350°F and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Fill the shells by poking a hole in the bottom or slicing top open with ube pastry cream.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is not too runny for the best puff.
- Adjust the number of eggs based on the consistency of the dough.
