Steps:
- For the dough: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the butter, granulated sugar, salt and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Add the flour, then return to the heat, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon until all the flour is incorporated and the mixture forms a ball.
- Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on the lowest speed until the dough cools and the steam dissipates, about 4 minutes. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, letting each egg become fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be shiny, stretchy and slowly fall from a spoon in thick ribbons. If necessary, beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and add a tablespoon at a time until the dough looks correct.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 2-inch mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until the puffs are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 25 minutes. Prick each puff with a skewer to allow the steam to escape, then remove the puffs to a rack to cool completely.
- Use a serrated knife to carefully cut the tops off the puffs; reserve the tops.
- For the cream: Microwave 2 tablespoons of the cream in a small bowl until warm. Add the espresso powder and stir until dissolved; place in the refrigerator to chill.
- Put the remaining cream in a large bowl, along with the vanilla and 4 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the cream just holds stiff peaks.
- Transfer half of the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain or star tip. Pipe half of the puffs full of whipped cream; replace their tops.
- Add the chilled coffee cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar to the remaining whipped cream in the bowl; beat until the cream returns to stiff peaks. Transfer to the piping bag (no need to clean in between) and fill the remaining puffs; replace the tops.
- Dust the cream puffs with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
VANILLA SUGAR
A lot of European cookie recipes use vanilla sugar in place of vanilla extract. My mother would make a large canister in August in preparation for her cookie baking season (between Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas holidays).

Steps:
- Pour the sugar into an airtight container. If the vanilla bean is whole, slice it halfway through the long way, open up the bean, and use a spoon or kitchen knife to scrape out the black gooey specks. Stir the specks into the sugar, and bury the bean pod in the sugar. Cover the jar and let stand for at least 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 360 F.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, add the water, melted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the salt, and cook on medium heat until boiling point is reached.
- As soon as a rolling boil is reached, turn off the heat, and add flour all at once. Start to mix with a stiff spatula. The finished texture will eventually look like "mashed potatoes."
- Once the "mashed potato" texture is reached, turn heat back on medium, and continue mixing on medium heat for 1 minute.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, and mix with a fork.
- Add the eggs to the "mashed potato" mixture in 2 steps. Add the eggs, and mix until the eggs disappear into the dough. Repeat the same steps until all of the eggs are incorporated. Your dough (pâte à choux) is ready when it is smooth and shiny.
- Pipe the cream puffs onto a nonstick baking tray or silicone mat.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes (depending on the size). Then, set them aside to cool down.
- In a large bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and vanilla flavor (bean or extract), and whip on medium speed. Gradually work up to high speed until thick.
- Make a small hole in the bottom of the cream puffs with the tip of a knife.
- Add the vanilla whipped cream to a pipping bag, and fill the cream puffs.
