Cream puffs are light, airy pastries made from choux pastry, which is cooked dough that puffs up when baked due to steam formation. The hollow interior is often filled with sweet, creamy fillings like whipped cream, pastry cream, or custard. They have a delicate, crisp exterior and a soft, moist interior, making them a popular dessert or snack. Cream puffs can be glazed, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with chocolate for added flavor. Their unique texture and versatile filling options make them a favored treat in many cuisines worldwide.
