Profiteroles Cream Puffs

🍰 Desserts

Choux buns stuffed with whipped cream, drizzled in warm chocolate. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.

Prep 37 min Cook 55 min Serves 6 Hard

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, cold
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Dark Chocolate1 cup, chopped
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.

  2. 2

    Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.

  3. 3

    Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the all-purpose flour.

  4. 4

    Layer in the all-purpose flour with the heavy cream so every slice gets a full cross-section.

  5. 5

    Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
