Description
Indulging in a classic dessert like profiteroles in chocolate sauce is an experience that marries elegance and comfort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, and salt. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil. As soon as the butter has melted completely, add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Once your dough has formed, transfer it to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes. Now, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Keep stirring until your dough becomes smooth and glossy.
- Next, transfer your dough to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- To prepare the chocolate sauce, gently heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it's warm but not boiling. Remove it from the heat and add the dark chocolate. Stir until everything is melted and smooth.
- To serve, arrange the cooled profiteroles on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the warm chocolate sauce, and enjoy this heavenly dessert!
Notes
For the best results, warm the chocolate sauce before drizzling to achieve a perfect pour.
