RECIPE: Chocolate Profiteroles!

How to make chocolate profiteroles and master choux pastry! I remember staying in an old Irish guesthouse when I was growing up where a dessert trolley was rolled around the dining room after dinner and you could pick a dessert of your choice. I could never resist creamy profiteroles smothered in a warm thick chocolate sauce.
Ingredients:
For the Choux Pastry:
60g salted butter
80g plain flour, sifted
3 large eggs
130ml water
For the Chantilly Cream:
200ml whipping cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Sauce
60ml single cream
30g caster sugar
50g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), finely chopped

I'm so glad I was eating food while watching this. It looked sooo good and would have made me crave noms really badly.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

This brings back memories of The Great British Bakeoff/Baking Show. Chou pastry and good profiteroles are almost always a feature of pastry week.

[@donalskehan]

Love that show!

[@gabrielagonzalez593]

It's the little things in life, like watching the video at almost the same time as the clock shows in the video, that bring a smile. The pastry look amazing, and I'm sure if Max could have one, he'd approve

[@khushbuyadav8542]

can’t wait to make these. looks absolutely delicious ❤️❤️

[@brendaspamperedkitchen9878]

I must get brave and try making these. I so enjoy baking, thanks Donal🎉

[@jojoleong1]

OMG, I just learned how to make these! They are easy and absolutely delicious!

[@lilios4468]

“One of the best thing in the whole world wide”. That’s absolutely true I’m from another part of the world and your recipe took my mind away to my childhood when my dear mam who I haven’t seen her in two years was buying me profiteroles from the shop on the way to our neighbourhood playground. Never thought they would be common here and never looked for them. Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful recipe and I’ll 100% give it a try ❤️ 🙂

[@donalskehan]

ah lovely memory! That's what the best food does! :)

[@DiaDia18]

Very nice profiterol recipie Donal! I love profiterol! My mum they fill them with pastry cream! Have a nice day and good weekend! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫

[@NourInTheKitchen]

I am obsessed with choux pastry lately and especially profiteroles and eclairs! YUMM. Yours look so delish! 😋😋😍😍

[@donalskehan]

Aw thank you!

[@hdezines]

I love eclairs with custard ♡ I will need to try making these, thank you!

[@galaxygirl1950]

[@nimascrenattahws907]

I like the smart trick use a glass to put dough or cream, 😊👍this one definitely one of kind lockdown snacks. 😋

[@maria45554]

That looks amazing!!!!!! I am definitely going to try it. The favourite in my house back in Buenos Aires was with something like custard filling, delicious! Please share some savoury ideas too.

[@brandonjodoin2692]

I love your channel Donal all your recipes look sooo delicious 😍

[@cesarbahar786]

Can’t wait to made this min puff pastry 🥮 with chocolate. I love you county old kitchen

[@tomobrien9483]

I always thought these were called Cream Puffs, at least in the USA. They look amazing. Definitely will give this a try. Thanks

[@2MeatyOwlLegs]

these look amazing

[@DanliciousFood]

Definitely no worries in this about over mixing the dough like you get with most quick bread recipes! 😂 I'm gonna have to give this type of dough a try! This looks absolutely delicious, and looks so impressive, other will think they are store bought! 🤤 I could open my own bakery with these, haha!

[@donalskehan]

Haha! Thanks 😃

[@FireCracker3240]

Oh, profiteroles. Delicious & classic. One of the first things I learned how to make when I started teaching myself how to cook. Except in my case, the first ones I ever made were Swan shaped ones. Leave it to me to always be fancy. lol

[@TheJoStephan]

This is my fav childhood treat as well. Gran used to make it all the time! Here in South Africa we call it "poffertjies" which is derived from the Dutch treat "Hollandse poffertje" which is not the same thing, but it's where the name comes from.

Thanks Donal!

[@cherylbutler446]

We had them a bit larger, split in half, filled with vanilla ice cream and drizzled wild hot fudge sauce. The best!

[@helenwong1214]

These profiteroles are just as same as cream puffs !!! Super perfection !!!

[@donalskehan]

Yes pretty much same thing! :)

[@GreatDayEveryone]

I've despaired of finding these in the US, but this looks doable. ( Sometimes I see it on the menu but it's not the same ) Thanks!!

[@shishiranair4095]

your profitroles look so delicious

[@priyankarajpal795]

Gonna make this todayy! Thanks:)

[@donalskehan]

enjoy!! 😋

[@vivianepilou2211]

For hot summer days, replace the whipped cream with vanilla ice cream. Just cut the choux sideways and insert. And of course the chocolate topping is mandatory!

[@donalskehan]

agreed!

[@mymyzie525]

Those look amazing. May I please have one? I think we call them cream puffs in Canada.

[@dianalewis8548]

Those look delicious. Growing up we had eclairs. Just a larger version😊 Stay safe.

[@donalskehan]

thanks so much 😊

[@amymcmillan3796]

YUMMMERRSSS!!!

[@FireCracker3240]

Oh! Do you think you can make a Croquembouche next time you do a classic dessert? I think the kids would love dismantling that!❤️

[@tastyrecipesbcn3736]

Yummy

[@diajaitly2476]

I'm definitely making these! Aren't these similar to your eclairs recipe? I make your eclairs all the time and they come out so so good. 😍😍 Can't wait to make these as well. 😁😁😍 Sending lots of love to you and your fam as always. 😍❤ And also how much water do we need to add? You haven't written.

Awwwww shucks! Max won’t get Choux buns 😂

[@Alxmir23]

as a baker i think pate a choux is the easiest of the doughs to make. also fun to do

[@user-xe7wd1wt7f]

Hi Donal, can you please tell me, can I fry spoonfuls of this choux pastry? Thanks for your very instructive video and written recipe 🌷🇬🇧🌷 Maria

[@otisbakingoven920]

Hey! Donal... I'm shikha and I'm a baker in Agra city of Taj... I'm from India.... I love your all the yum recipes... Seriously I love the way you cook and bake.... please once visit our India... You'll gonna love our Indian food.... I'm waiting for your reply😋

I'm surprised Noah didn't offer to help eat some of the chocolate while you were decorating them great and easy recipe thanks Donal.

[@donalskehan]

hahaha he was in school!

[@HowToCuisine]

These profiteroles --> 🔥😱

[@michelleguevremont7067]

My mom used to make éclair with pastry cream custard and chocolate icing, and cream puffs with whipped cream and a dust of icing sugar. Profiteroles are plain choux pastry soaked in red syrup mounted up into a mountain and drizzled with more red syrup. Any which way they're all good, thanks.

[@sanchitakitchen4963]

I know what I am having later on this wet August day here in Ireland

[@roberthanlen6036]

If you're going to make those beautiful choux pastry puffs go the whole hog a pipe them with crème pâtissière - heaven!

[@thejournalingbroom]

They look like mini Boston creme donuts!!

[@mahirali8598]

When did you add 6 large eggs and cornflour to the creme patisserie

[@rachelgoulding9946]

When you click on the written instructions it says a table spoon of vanilla extract! Is that right!? I think you said a capful on the video.

[@FireCracker3240]

It should be a teaspoon.

[@rachelgoulding9946]

FireCracker3240 thank you. Hopefully he will change the recipe in comments online as there could be some very strong roles!

How much water please it doesn’t say?

[@marcobottenheft913]

Looks a lot of our Dutch "Bossche Bol". kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIHVlJmFiJmcf9E Only we have more heavy cream in it, and a lot more Choclate on top ! We have many kind of these Bossche Bollen, But the one and only comes from a shop in the city called "Den Bosch" or "s'Hertogenbosch" Jan de Groot ! When we lived in a place 200 km away, we drived once a month to this shop. The "Bossche Bol" exists from 1798. Bon Appetit

[@reshmapatel325]

You mentioned 2 large eggs but in the list of ingredients it says 3 eggs.

I desperately sought this comment

[@jamessheeran4277]

I don't get the reason for adding the 6 egg yokes and cornflour like the recipe suggests 🤔 maybe I need to watch the video again

[@jamessheeran4277]

OK I think I get it now I guess this is the ingredients to create a heavy cream from scratch?

[@jamessheeran4277]

@Nicky L no but, in his video when he was making the cream, he just had a bowl of heavy cream and added sugar which didn't match to the longer list of ingredients mentioned in the description .... Having googled it, the list of ingredients were how to create your own heavy cream I assume

[@tracypurich2624]

Your recipe say milk when it wrong in video you cream

[@GreatDayEveryone]

The profiteroles in Naples had pastry cream but were otherwise just like yours. In the US, I've seen them with ice cream. The US can ruin anything

[@aaronruss6331]

Actually in France they sometimes have them with ice cream and chocolste sauce.

[@funguykel]

l would never make those. Why you ask, because I would eat them all.
