RECIPE: Chocolate Profiteroles!

How to make chocolate profiteroles and master choux pastry! I remember staying in an old Irish guesthouse when I was growing up where a dessert trolley was rolled around the dining room after dinner and you could pick a dessert of your choice. I could never resist creamy profiteroles smothered in a warm thick chocolate sauce.

Ingredients:

For the Choux Pastry:
60g salted butter
80g plain flour, sifted
3 large eggs
130ml water

For the Chantilly Cream:
200ml whipping cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Sauce
60ml single cream
30g caster sugar
50g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), finely chopped

I'm so glad I was eating food while watching this. It looked sooo good and would have made me crave noms really badly.

It's the little things in life, like watching the video at almost the same time as the clock shows in the video, that bring a smile. The pastry look amazing, and I'm sure if Max could have one, he'd approve

“One of the best thing in the whole world wide”. That’s absolutely true
I’m from another part of the world and your recipe took my mind away to my childhood when my dear mam who I haven’t seen her in two years was buying me profiteroles from the shop on the way to our neighbourhood playground. Never thought they would be common here and never looked for them. Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful recipe and I’ll 100% give it a try ❤️ 🙂

This brings back memories of The Great British Bakeoff/Baking Show. Chou pastry and good profiteroles are almost always a feature of pastry week.

I am obsessed with choux pastry lately and especially profiteroles and eclairs! YUMM. Yours look so delish! 😋😋😍😍

This is my fav childhood treat as well. Gran used to make it all the time! Here in South Africa we call it "poffertjies" which is derived from the Dutch treat "Hollandse poffertje" which is not the same thing, but it's where the name comes from.

Definitely no worries in this about over mixing the dough like you get with most quick bread recipes! 😂 I'm gonna have to give this type of dough a try!

This looks absolutely delicious, and looks so impressive, other will think they are store bought! 🤤 I could open my own bakery with these, haha!

I like the smart trick use a glass to put dough or cream, 😊👍this one definitely one of kind lockdown snacks. 😋

Can’t wait to made this min puff pastry 🥮 with chocolate. I love you county old kitchen

[FireCracker]

Oh, profiteroles. Delicious & classic. One of the first things I learned how to make when I started teaching myself how to cook. Except in my case, the first ones I ever made were Swan shaped ones. Leave it to me to always be fancy. lol

[cherylbutler]

We had them a bit larger, split in half, filled with vanilla ice cream and drizzled wild hot fudge sauce. The best!

I always thought these were called Cream Puffs, at least in the USA. They look amazing.
Definitely will give this a try. Thanks

[jojoleong]

OMG, I just learned how to make these! They are easy and absolutely delicious!

[helenwong]

These profiteroles are just as same as cream puffs !!! Super perfection !!!

[maria]

That looks I am definitely going to try it. The favourite in my house back in Buenos Aires was with something like custard filling, delicious! Please share some savoury ideas too.
