Instructions

  1. Make the choux pastry dough.
  2. Transfer the dough to a piping back with a 1A or similar baking tip.
  3. Squeeze about 2 tablespoons of the dough while slowly lifting them onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake in the oven on a middle rack 17 400° for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and firm outside.
  5. Set the profiteroles aside to cool to room temperature.
  6. Slice the profiteroles in half, leaving a thinner bottom and a bigger top piece.
  7. Place the bottom slices on a sheet tray with parchment paper and add 3 tablespoons of ice cream or cream filling. You can use a scooper or a piping bag with a 357 baking tip or a similar decorative dip.
  8. Next, dip the top slices into warm, but not hot, caramel or chocolate sauce.
  9. Place the coated top slices onto the filling of the profiteroles.
  10. You can eat these immediately, or you can freeze them all and eat frozen. In addition, you can add the cream-filled profiteroles to the refrigerator and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: You can make the profiteroles up to 2 days ahead of time as long as they are separated from the cream filling and chocolate or caramel topping.
  • How to Store: Keep the profiteroles separate from the cream filling and chocolate or caramel toppings in the refrigerator covered for up to 5 days. The profiteroles will freeze well covered for up to 3 months. It’s best to eat them frozen once you freeze them.
  • Instead of the caramel or chocolate topping, they can be served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a drizzle of warm honey.
  • You should be able to get about 16 profiteroles per baking sheet.
  • There will most likely be plenty of leftover caramel or chocolate sauce.
