    As soon as the choux pastry has blown up and started to change color, heat the oven back up to 355°F (180°C) and open the door.
    Allow the choux pastry to slowly cook.

    Bake in convection oven at 320°F (160°C). Halfway through the baking process, turn the tray around and place another tray on top.
    Leave the pastry to continue baking until it has a golden color all the way through. Set aside.
    Smooth the pastry cream, then use it to fill the choux buns.
    Cook the blond caramel and glaze the choux buns. While still in its tray, cut the puff pastry into six 11 × 25cm strips.
    Use a small amount of caramel to stick a row of choux buns along each strip’s side.
    Use a piping bag with a slanted nozzle to pipe the whipped cream into the center.
    Decorate with a few thin slices of de-seeded vanilla bean and a drizzle of caramel.
