Ingredients
Pastry Chocolate Cream Filling
•                   4 large egg yolks
•                   3/8 cup granulated white sugar (75g)
•                   3 tbsp cornstarch (24g)
•                   2 cups milk (480ml)
•                   1+1/8 cups milk chocolate, melted (7oz / 200g)
•                   pinch of salt
•                   2+1/2 tbsp butter, cubed (35g)

Pate a Choux (Choux Pastry)
•                   1 cup water (240ml)
•                   1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g)
•                   1 tsp sugar
•                   1/2 tsp salt
•                   1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
•                   4 large eggs

Egg Wash
•                   1 large egg
•                   2 tbsp water

Chocolate Ganache
•                   3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped (4.6oz / 130g)
•                   3/8 cup heavy whipping cream (90ml)
•                   OPTIONAL: 1/2 tbsp corn syrup (for extra gloss)

Instructions
1.             Make the chocolate filling: In a bowl whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch to combine. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan bring milk over medium-high heat to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir about 1/2 cup of hot milk into the egg yolks to slowly warm it. Then pour warmed egg mixture slowly into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Cook until filling is thick, for about 1-2 minutes. Whisk continuously.
2.      Remove from heat and stir in chocolate and salt until smooth and fully combined for about 1-2 minutes. Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl and let cool for about 5-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add butter and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent forming a skin. Refrigerate at least 1-2 hours or overnight.
3.            Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
