my chocolate sauce was a bit runny… just use normal chocolate and dont add anything to it like the recipe says and wait for it to cool before you add it.

also, i didnt have a piping bag but just spooned the mixture.

and make sure your flour is sifted so your mixture doesnt go lumpy.

Re: Profiteroles

That recipe is too complicated with the filling - actually that kind of filling makes me want to throw up - there's nothing like fresh cream. The part for the choux pastry is fine, but you'd rather stick with this BBC one ... i mean i've tried and tested it.

Re: Profiteroles

yummy stuff :) After we checked the cholestrol content on the back of the box, we have become careful about eating too many of those :D But they are so irresistable!!!!!!

Re: Profiteroles

fresh cream is available everywhere shireen. if you cant get it, try looking for the tinned variety.

laizy, those were just a third of them on the plate - was taking them to a friends house.

Re: Profiteroles

^Awww....u make my heart go out to him.

Catty, did u had to cut them pastries in order to fill in the creme? My sister is always making these and I never bother to pester around patiently actually seeing what she's doing. We're always only interested in eating when the little one hits the kitchen. So tell, do they need to be cut in the middle to fill creme? Or capped on top of each other like 2 shells make one eclaire?

ps. Man does whipped cream tastes heavenly or what if whipped for more than for ever! :D

Re: Profiteroles

Kitty cat. That was a great recipe. Actually turned out perfectly fine the first time! Thank you so much for sharing. We all enjoyed gobbling them up right away :clown:

Re: Profiteroles

oh that’s awesome. :slight_smile: glad to hear that DB. :k: since I didnt have a piping bag, yes i did just cut them in half and fill them. Piping bags are readily available with all the nozzles though and just cost a couple of bucks.

Re: Profiteroles

Actually I spooned in the whipped cream too, like u, through a little opening I slitted on top of the pastry, then covered it up with the chocolate :smiley:
I’ve been using bucket chemistry for the past 5 yrs while baking. Surprisingly things come out perfect more grins
I’m going to make sumore this weekend :clown:

Re: Profiteroles

^Ofcourse. Thats what I used. If u beat the whipped cream more than its actual form, it turns hard like buttery, and so much more fluffier (<-- the spellings look fishy to me) and ofcourse never forget adding sugar in the very last minute in the cream (I always forget altogether). And and I cheated on the chocolate icing part. I used the ready-made ones (Betty crocker or others) with a bit of cold water mixed into it.

Re: Profiteroles
