Profiteroles
Profiteroles are delightful French pastries made from choux pastry, filled with a sweet cream or custard, and topped with a rich chocolate sauce.
Ingredients:
For the choux pastry:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
For the filling:
- 2 cups whipped cream or pastry cream
For the chocolate sauce:
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This is the choux pastry dough.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, to the dough. Mix well after each addition until the eggs are fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
- Spoon or pipe small mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion. You can use a piping bag fitted with a round tip or simply use a spoon to drop dollops of dough.
- Bake the choux pastry in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffy. Avoid opening the oven door during baking, as it can cause the pastries to deflate.
- Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the filling by whipping the cream until soft peaks form. Alternatively, you can use prepared pastry cream for the filling.
- Using a sharp knife or a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip, gently make a small hole in the side of each pastry.
- Fill each pastry with whipped cream or pastry cream, using a spoon or piping bag.
- For the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the filled profiteroles.
- Serve the profiteroles immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed fresh, but can be kept in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
Enjoy these delightful profiteroles as a sweet treat or a decadent dessert!
