This dessert called profiterole or 'choux a la creme' in French are small round puffy buns filled with creme and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Perfect combination of flavours....This perfect dessert or snack is simple enough and my all time favorite, a must try!!
There are many variations and ways you can experiment with it once you make the basic choux right.
I made nearly 24 of it with this recipe, Smaller the better, so next time I would try to make it even smaller.
----To make the chox dough,
1) boil
- one cup water
- half a stick of butter or 4 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter is melted and is bubbling
2) add in
-one cup of all purpose flour
And mix till all comes together into a dough.
3) Remove from heat at this point and Once it's cooled
4) add in
- 4 eggs- beating one at a time till a smooth paste is formed
5) drop a spoon (or more according to the size and shape u prefer) of it on a greased tray .You can use a piping bag for more precise and equal sized drops.
6) Bake for 400 degree Fahrenheit for 15 minutes and 350 degree faranheit for 5 or 10 more minutes as needed .
These can be filled according to your liking.
I filled it with yummy French vanilla pudding by piping it in each profiterole and topped with more pudding and homemade chocolate sauce.
----For the the filling
- I used one packet of instant french vanilla pudding powder.
mixed it with
-one cup of double cream
- half a cup of milk
And beat until thick.
(whipped cream or whipped icecream also works well !!)
----For the chocolate sauce,
I melted
-Half cup of semisweet chocolate chips with
-2 spoons of milk
And drizzled over...
( coca powder with milk, sugar and butter works too)
This dessert is very easy specially for a group of people..appealing to the eyes and taste buds:-) yumm
