Banana Passionfruit Caramel
Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a medium saucepan, combine the *water*, *butter*, and *salt*. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the *flour* all at once and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Add the *eggs* one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until the dough is smooth. Spoon or pipe the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
Step 2
Melt the *dark chocolate* over a double boiler or in a microwave. In a separate bowl, mash the *banana* and set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the *heavy cream*, *sugar*, and *vanilla extract*. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add *egg yolks* and *cornstarch*, whisking until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat, stir in the melted chocolate, and fold in the mashed banana. Chill the cream until set.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the *sugar* over medium heat until it becomes a golden caramel. Carefully add the *passionfruit juice* and *mashed banana* to the caramel, stirring constantly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the *butter* until well combined.
Step 4
Take the cooled choux pastries and, using a serrated knife, cut them in half horizontally.
Pipe or spoon the *chocolate banana diplomat cream* into each pastry and drizzle with *banana passionfruit caramel*.
Top with the other half of the pastry and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Variations
Faq
- What is the best way to create a smooth diplomat cream?
Begin with properly tempering your egg yolks. Whisk them gradually with your hot cream mixture to avoid curdling.
- Why did my choux pastries deflate after baking?
This often happens if they’re not baked long enough. Make sure to bake them until fully set and golden brown to ensure they hold their shape.
- How do I achieve a perfect caramel consistency?
Keep an eye on the temperature. A medium-high heat and patience are key—your caramel should reach a deep amber color for that deep flavor.
- Any tips for clean chocolate decorations?
Use a small, offset spatula and temper your chocolate for a smooth, glossy finish.
- Can I make the cream filling in advance?
Yes, the diplomat cream can be made a day ahead. Just keep it chilled and whisk it lightly before filling your pastries.
- What’s the best way to incorporate the caramel into the filling?
Gently fold the caramel through the diplomat cream instead of mixing vigorously to maintain its airy texture.
