The Magic of Choux Pastry and Mascarpone Filling

Choux pastry, also known as pâte à choux, is the foundation of these cream puffs. It’s known for its delicate, airy texture, which puffs up in the oven to create hollow centers—ideal for filling. What sets this recipe apart is the luscious mascarpone filling, enhanced with fresh lemon juice and zest, providing a tangy, creamy burst of flavor.
