Vanilla Ice Cream Profiteroles
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 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
- Add 4 large 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, leaving space between each mound.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the profiteroles are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the profiteroles are cooled, cut the tops off and fill each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Replace the tops.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!
