Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and cubed butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour and salt until a smooth dough forms. Return to low heat and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and glossy.

Transfer the choux pastry to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe a ring onto the prepared baking sheet, about 8–10 inches in diameter, and then pipe a second layer on top of the first to create a thicker ring.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the choux ring is golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking. Once done, turn off the oven and let the choux ring cool inside for about 10 minutes.
Remove the choux ring from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh raspberries. Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture until well combined.

Once the choux ring is completely cool, carefully slice it in half horizontally. Spoon or pipe the raspberry cream filling into the bottom half of the ring.
Place the top half of the choux ring back on top of the filling.

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with enough milk to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the top of the choux ring and decorate with fresh raspberries.
Slice and serve your Raspberry Cream Choux Ring chilled. Enjoy this delightful dessert!
