Profiteroles Cream Puffs
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.
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
Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.
- 2
Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.
- 3
Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the all-purpose flour.
- 4
Layer in the all-purpose flour with the heavy cream so every slice gets a full cross-section.
- 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.
