If you’re a fan of freshly-baked cream puffs – those cute choux pastries filled with cream and topped with crunchy craquelin – then check out these homemade cream puffs by home bakery Leonisa’s Kitchen.

Leonisa’s cream puffs are standard in texture and a bit bigger than the norm – the palm-sized pastries are soft and light to the bite, with a slight crunch from the top and are generously stuffed with cream. The fillings, which are made from scratch with vanilla cream as the base, are creamy but not heavy nor overly sweet.

Leonisa offers the basic and easily likable cream puff flavors of Vanilla (P320), Hazelnut Milk Chocolate (P450), Dark Chocolate (P450), and Black Sesame (P450) in boxes of nine pieces.

Among the unconventional variants is a personal favorite: the citrusy Calamansi with Chocolate Ganache flavor (P450), featuring a smooth, thick, and tangy calamansi-flavored custard enveloped in a silky, mildly sweet dark chocolate ganache and then topped with torched marshmallow foam. It’s a unique combo that works!

For other fruity options, the Strawberry (P450) and Mango (P450) are refreshing flavors to try out – each one comes with fresh, sweet, ripe fruit chunks inside the cream and as the topping. If you’re a fan of matcha, Leonisa also has an earthy Green Tea flavor (P450) to satisfy; and if you enjoy anything ube, there’s an Ube Cream Cheese (P450) available.

Leonisa’s box of cream puffs are also pleasing to the eyes, with each cream puff garnished with engraved chocolate discs, fresh fruit, and/or whipped cream on top. She also sells an assorted box of flavors at P480 each.
