# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt in saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
02 - Add flour all at once to boiling mixture and stir vigorously with wooden spoon until smooth ball forms and pulls away from pan sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 3-4 minutes.
03 - Beat eggs into cooled dough one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until dough becomes glossy and smooth.
04 - Transfer dough to piping bag fitted with large round tip. Pipe 12 mounds approximately 1.5 inches wide onto prepared baking sheet, spacing adequately apart. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed without opening oven door.
05 - Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Prick each puff with skewer and bake 5 additional minutes to dry centers. Cool completely on wire rack.
06 - In saucepan, heat milk and mango puree over medium heat until just simmering, stirring occasionally.
07 - In bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until pale and smooth. Slowly pour half the hot mango-milk mixture into egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to temper.
08 - Pour tempered mixture back into saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, approximately 2-3 minutes.
09 - Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto surface, and chill until cold and set, at least 1 hour.
10 - Cut cooled puffs in half horizontally. Fill piping bag with mango pastry cream and pipe generous amount onto bottom half of each puff. Replace tops and dust with powdered sugar immediately before serving.
