- Whisk the milk, egg yolk, 10 g of the sugar, cornstarch and vanilla, cook over low heat stirring until thick, then cool to make pastry cream; fill the choux puffs with it.
- Melt the remaining sugar in a dry pan to a light caramel, dip the top of each filled puff, and stick the puffs around the edge of the pastry base with a dab of caramel.
- Whip the cream with the powdered sugar to firm peaks and pipe it decoratively into the centre of the ring before serving.
