Prepare the crumble before the choux
Mix all ingredients together to obtain a dough.
Roll down to 2 minutes and cool down.
Cut the crumble in discs that will fit on the choux.
Warm up the water between 50 to 60 °C.
Mix all ingredients with a paddle together, medium speed for 5 minutes.
Pipe 6 small choux side by side on a ring pattern.
Add a disc of crumble on each one.
Once baked, together they form a ring-shaped choux; a twist on the classic Paris Brest.
Bake for the first 5 minutes with closed damper, then open damper for 30 to 45 minutes depending of the size of the choux.

Add Miroir, Topfil and Classic.
Mix and poor into silicon moulds.
Freeze (-30°C).
Cut off the top of the Paris Brest, fill each choux with a different Topfil fruit filling.
