Remember you can make most of my recipes lactose free, which I always do, you'll just have to get the right ingredients.

Ingredients

What you'll need

 

  • Food Colouring, Pink or Blue
  • Pink or Blue Sprinkles, or in my case Muisjes

Tools

What you'll need

  • Chilled: Whisk Attachment(s)
  • Chilled: Electric Mixer
  • 1 Big Mixing Bowl
  • Silicone Spatula
  • (disposable) Piping Bag

Method

Method

  1. Whip up the whipping cream with vanilla extract and the desired food colouring.
  2. Place the whipped cream in a piping bag.
  3. Fill the cream puffs with the whipped cream. NOTE: Filling them from the top instead of the bottom prevents people from finding out the gender before biting into it. When you fill it from the bottom the whipped cream often sticks to the plate a little.
  4. Dip the cream puffs into the chocolate ganache and then into the sprinkles.
  5. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to harden the chocolate ganache.
