If you’ve ever wanted to make a French dessert at home that’s sure to impress your guests, then you have to try making profiteroles. These delicious pastries are made from a simple batter that’s piped onto a baking sheet and baked until they puff up. Once the profiteroles are cooled, they’re filled with whipped cream, pastry cream or ice cream, then drizzled with a rich chocolate sauce.

Here’s a simple recipe to make profiteroles from scratch:

Ingredients:

– 1/2 cup water
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, butter, salt and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.

3. Add the flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball. Cook the dough for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.

4. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth and glossy.

5. Spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in small rounds, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter.

6. Bake the profiteroles for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re puffed up and golden brown. Cool the pastry shells on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. To make the whipped cream filling, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.

8. Cut a small hole in the bottom of each pastry shell and pipe the whipped cream into it. You could also use pastry cream or ice cream as a filling.

9. In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate chips, heavy cream and butter over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

10. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the profiteroles and serve.

Making profiteroles may seem daunting, but it’s actually quite simple. The key to success is to make the pastry shells light and airy, and to fill them with a delicious filling of your choice. Whether you’re making them for a fancy dinner party or just for a special treat, these profiteroles are sure to impress your guests. Just be sure to make enough, because they’re sure to disappear quickly!
