An easy recipe that will delight anyone with a sweet tooth. I didn’t make homemade whipped cream because we had a lot of guests and I needed to assemble quickly, but if you’re up for it, you can make it yourself.

Steps

1

Make the choux pastry. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a saucepan over low heat, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt.
2

Once everything is melted, remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the flour, stirring well. At this point, the dough will look like shortcrust pastry.
3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until the dough is smooth.
4

Scoop out small spoonfuls of dough and place small balls about 1.5–2 inches (4–5 cm) in diameter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 3/4 inch (2 cm) between each.
5

Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Let cool on a wire rack with the oven door open. Your choux are ready!
6

When it’s time for dessert, make the chocolate sauce by breaking the chocolate into small pieces in a saucepan. Heat gently with the milk, stirring until the chocolate is fully melted. Remove from heat.
7

To assemble, cut the choux in half and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Place as many profiteroles as you like on each plate, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and top with whipped cream.
