As I was intending this first attempt to fail I did not grab out my big camera for the making off! Plus had to get my sister to read some of the instructions to me as I did not have enought hands!!
So it began - was quite a quick process to get the dough together. (please excuse the mess - I had also been cooking curry, patties and rice today! - mammouth clean up on hubbys part after!)
And ta-dah out they came looking like actual profiteroles, not perfectly sized or anything but looking like them!
For the filling we opted for Kellys Cornish Clotted Cream Ice Cream - I had been asked to give a review of this lovely ice cream - Um yes! And this made a lovely alternative for being stuffed into little splodges of choux pasty. The ice cream has a really lovely creamy flavour and texture and was also a big hit with the small one.
To top off our profiteroles I whipped up a quick nutella sauce ( 2 tblespoons of nutella, 1 tablespoon of creme fraiche (what was in the fridge, but any cream would work) and then a dash of full fat milk - give it a good mix - then drizzle over!)
This was a rather yummy way to round of a sunday. This is also something to cross of my 'must attempt in the kitchen list'
Look great. Something I've always wanted to try but thought tricky. May have a go when i get some quite time. What recipe have you used?
ReplyDeleteMmm, profiteroles are one of my favourite puddings! I've never made them before though but my younger cousin has been a pro at them since she was little!
