Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

SAUCE:
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 lb semisweet chocolate, cut into chunks
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
PROFITEROLES:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • SAUCE: Combine the cream and butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until bubbles appear around the sides of the pot, but do not allow the cream to boil. Mix in the chocolate and vanilla; remove from the heat and stir until the chocolate melt and the sauce is smooth. May be served warm or chilled. PROFITEROLES: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. To make the pate a choux: in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar, and salt to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring to melt the butter completely. Add all the flour and baking powder at once and continue to stir until all the flour is incorporated and the dough becomes a mass that pulls away from the sides of the pot. Remove form heat and scrape the dough into a mixing bowl. Beat the dough on medium sleet to cool it off a bit. Add the eggs 1 at a time. When all eggs have been incorporated, the dough should be a thick, smooth, glossy paste. Form 24 golf ball size mounds on the lined baking sheet about 2" apart, keeping the mounds as high and round as possible. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and cook for 25 more minutes. Do not open the oven door until the puffs are firm to the touch, golden-brown, and well-risen. Allow the shells to cool before filling. Using a serrated knife, slice the pastry puffs almost in half. Fill, then top with the chocolate sauce.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'll have to omit the chopped walnuts from this recipe.

I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of a chocolate sauce made with butter, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my profiteroles turned out flat and dense. I'll have to try again.

These profiteroles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable.

I'm not a big fan of profiteroles, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. The chocolate sauce was especially delicious.

These profiteroles were a hit at my last dinner party! The chocolate sauce was rich and decadent, and the pastry puffs were light and airy. My guests couldn't get enough of them!
