Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add 4 eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 12 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Cut the cooled profiteroles in half and fill each with the whipped cream.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the filled profiteroles. Serve and enjoy!
Profiterole, a classic French dessert, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. This delectable treat consists of light, airy choux pastry filled with creamy custard or ice cream and topped with a decadent chocolate sauce. Renowned chefs like Marie-Antoine Carême and Auguste Escoffier have contributed to its popularity. Today, the best profiteroles can be found in Parisian patisseries, where skilled pastry chefs meticulously craft each delicate pastry. The key to perfect profiteroles lies in achieving the right balance of crisp pastry, creamy filling, and luscious chocolate sauce. For a twist, some chefs experiment with alternative fillings such as fruit compotes or flavored creams.
