Making Pudding Profiteroles: Timing & Tips

[ChefJesssica]

When you use pudding for the profiterole puffs, how long do you wait before you start putting it in? Do you wait the 5 minutes for it to set?
Thanks

I found the puffs took less than 10 minutes to cool down. I ended up stuffing them about 5 minutes after that. I plan to make these puffs at one of my shows this month. I think I will be putting pudding in mine too, perhaps a french vanilla or pistashio pudding. I plan to make the puffs ahead of time at my own home so they are nice and cooled before the show. While I make my appetizer that will be baking in the oven, I will then demo my puffs and stuff the pudding in them then. I will demo some of my other products such as my plates (I only have the pink and white polka dot ones right now), the v-shape cutter for drizzing the chocolate, the food chopper for the nuts, etc. etc.
I tested the puffs for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I swear I could have sat down and ate all 24 of them in the one sitting!!!

I never thought of the v-shaped cutter for drissling chocolate! It would probably work to make the caramel doohickies for the caramel sticky cupcakes!
