Profiteroles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups whipped cream
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms into a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until the batter is smooth and shiny.
5. Using a piping bag or two spoons, pipe or drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the pastry puffs about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Turn off the oven, open the oven door slightly, and let the pastry puffs cool in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and cool completely.
8. Cut the tops off of the pastry puffs and fill with whipped cream using a piping bag. Replace the tops and drizzle with melted chocolate chips.
9. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

Profiteroles are a classic treat that impresses any crowd. The light and airy pastry puffs filled with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate are a match made in heaven.

Serving Suggestions:
