Ingredients
  

For the Brioche Dough
  • 300 g Farina 00 or Manitoba Type of flour used for making brioche.
  • 1 large Egg Room temperature for better incorporation.
  • 100 ml warm Milk Used for dissolving yeast.
  • 60 g granulated Sugar
  • 50 g softened Butter Add in pieces for better incorporation.
  • 8 g fresh Yeast (or 3 g dry yeast)
  • A pinch of Salt
  • 50 g Chocolate Chips (for the dough)
For the Chantilly Cream Filling
  • 200 g cold Pastry Cream
  • 200 ml very cold Whipping Cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered Sugar For sweetening the whipped cream.
  • Chocolate Chips for decoration, as needed Use as desired for topping.

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, eggs, and the yeast mixture until smooth. Work it until you have a silky dough.
  3. Add the salt, then incorporate the softened butter in pieces.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips into the dough.
First Rise
  1. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rise in a covered bowl until it doubles in size (about 2-3 hours).
Shaping
  1. Divide the dough into balls (about 80 g each) and place them on a baking sheet. Allow them to rise again for 1 hour.
Baking
  1. Brush with milk or beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes.
Whipping Cream
  1. Whip the very cold cream with the powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks.
  2. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cold pastry cream until well combined.
Assembly
  1. Once the brioche are completely cool, slice them in half horizontally.
  2. Fill them with the cream mix, create a lovely swirl of cream on top, and sprinkle with chocolate chips for that extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor. If you like, add a dash of vanilla extract to your cream for a lovely aroma. Allow the brioche to cool completely before filling to ensure the cream doesn’t melt.
