Yield Makes 2 to 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large egg
Pate a Choux
Vanilla ice cream
Confectioners' sugar
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons butter, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl for the egg wash. Set aside.
  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Transfer Pate a Choux to a pastry bag fitted with a 5/8-inch plain tip. Pipe dough into 2-inch rounds about 1 inch apart. Gently smooth the pointed peaks with a moistened finger, rounding tops to ensure even rising. Brush tops with reserved egg wash. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. The profiteroles should feel light and airy. Remove puffs from oven and transfer sheets to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Make the chocolate sauce: Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of hot water to melt gently, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Put the milk, cream, and superfine sugar into a pan and bring to a boil, whisking continuously. Take off the heat. Still whisking, pour on the melted chocolate, then return to the heat. Still whisking, let the sauce bubble briefly over medium heat. Turn off the heat and whisk in the pieces of butter, one at a time. Pass the sauce through a fine chinois into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and keep warm in a bain-marie.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice off the top third of each puff; set aside. Place a scoop of ice cream on the bottom of each puff; replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.

These profiteroles were a great way to use up some leftover choux pastry. I simply filled them with whipped cream and fresh berries.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I used a caramel sauce instead. The profiteroles were still delicious!

These profiteroles were delicious! The only problem was that they were a little bit messy to eat. I would recommend serving them with a fork and knife.

I had a hard time getting the choux pastry to rise. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These profiteroles were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the chocolate sauce.

These profiteroles were delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the choux pastry. Other than that, they were perfect.
