Red Leicester Puff with Garlic Cheese Cream

This is a delicious, hot first course, which is always eaten with gusto. The combination of hot cheese choux pastry and chilled cream cheese cream is mouthwatering. If you like you can use another cheese, but Red Leicester gives a marvellous colour. Cooking choux pastry under a bowl, which generates steam while cooking, makes it even lighter still, but if you have no bowl big enough put a roasting pan half full of boiling water on a lower shelf in the oven.
