  2. Step 2

    On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the craquelin dough flat and put in the freezer.

    While still heating, add the sifted flour and mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until a golden crust has formed on the bottom of the pot.

    Remove the craquelin dough from the freeze.

    Cut the frozen dough with a roughly 1 inch round cookie cutter to obtain disks and place the frozen craquelin disks on top of the puffs.

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.

    Once the puffs have finished baking, let them cool before cutting in half. Using two separate piping bags, fill the center of the puffs with a layer of Nutella® and a layer of Orange Chantilly cream. 

    Sandwich the two puff halves together to serve and enjoy!
