Banana Cream Puffs

Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.

Choux pastry, the dough for cream puffs, is a fun bake but takes time and practice. Ready-made puffs let the kids jump straight to filling and drizzling.

Make it a learning moment: cream puffs are hollow because water in the dough turns to steam in the oven and puffs them up like balloons.
