About Bossche Bol
Laura Kieft's Bossche bol is a large choux pastry filled with vanilla-sweetened whipped cream. A chocolate glaze covers the upper surface, leaving a rounded pastry with the cream enclosed inside.
The choux combines water, milk, butter, flour, salt and eggs. Its hollow shell is filled through a small opening underneath, then dipped into a glaze of sugar, water, cocoa and dark chocolate.
Laura's vanilla sugar uses real vanilla seeds and pods with fine sugar. The glazed pastries are kept chilled until serving, with the chocolate layer set over the cream-filled shells.
