your profiteroles looks very good! It's a classic dessert in france and it's easy, "pate a choux" it's one of the first thing you do when you are a kid and start cooking. I saw in america profiteroles made with cream, but a real profiterole is made with vanilla ice cream, if not it's called "choux à la crême". Profiteroles is usually served by 3 per person (they are a little bit smaller than on the video), with hot chocolate sauce on it and often accompanied with chantilly.

this recipe has TONS of similarities to my chocolate eclair recipe. I make them with the dough (obviously) but also use the same recipe for the chocolate sauce but simply fill the eclairs with the custard instead of ice cream.

[androshi]

that was really nice!! i think i will try that one day. is the pâte à choux a sweet type of pastry?

[colt413]

@androshi pâte à choux is not generally a sweet pastry but could be if you tweaked the recipe a little but it wouldn't be the same.

[tysa888]

The way the dough is pity, for a start....

[thiswarthistime]

for the milk, i'm using fresh pasteurized milk. do i have to use the kind that i don't have to keep in the fridge? the one i'm using will turn bad outside the fridge.

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[dovechocolaterep]

Good Lesson

[islespatrick]

we do not have a food processor can you use a blender instead or do it by hand.

[appler95]

OK IT LOOKS GOOD AND EVERYTHING BUT WHEN I WENT TO GO MAKE IT I MAD THE DOUGH I PUT THE EGGS IN AND THEN THE SMELL OF THE MIXURE GAVE ME A HUGE HEADACHE sorry i didnt mean to have everything in caps

but still is it suposed to be like that i feel like throwing up sorry no offence

[noosaslayer]

Use fresh eggs dumby...

[appler95]

no i used fresh just bought them from costco

[heebadeeheebadee]

COSTCO?? FRESH! what a laugh. They have food shipped there and it sets on shelves until they're sold. I hardly count that as fresh.

[Chanttingvoice]

this will be delicioso,

[lolafly97]

I have chocolate dessert recipe!!! make ur brownies like usual only scoop half of it in the pan then drop some fudge and then put the rest on top of it. And put chocolate chips in mix!!!! ITS DELICOUS!! I MADE THE RECIPE MY SELF AND LOVE IT!!! lol

[Halalsilks]

Amanda, I have never been able to get ANY recipe like this to work, They puff up but fall in the oven at the end. I wonder why that happens to me all the time. I will try this for it is my husband's very favorite dessert! How would I cook this in a oven that has a heat fan, should I drop the temp?

Plus... a request.. Do you have a good chocolate mousse recipe that has NO RAW eggs in it? I would love to make this for him for our 25th anniversary. blessings, grace

[blackreazor]

ok, to aoid the fallin of the pastries you let them rest in the oven for at least 15 after they are done, do not open the oven, and reduce the temperature, but don't lethem burn, then let them rest for nother 15 minuts with the oven turned off, then takethem out and make a tyne hole with a tooth pic, then they are ready to go

good luck and I hope that it helps.

[Halalsilks]

Thank you so very much Amanda, Honey, I have a convection oven, should i NOT use the fan portion? Is that part of my issue?

thank you for letting me know what to do!!

If you can help me figure out why my quiches do not cook well in the convection ovenI would Greatly appreciate it!! They cook on the outside but are raw inside. My oven is causing me to not cook as well as I used to, I am not used to the fan. Should I turn it off and then back on at another point?

Thank you so much, Grace!!

[blackreazor]

well, it was a pleasure to help, but my name is not amanda, my name is erik, and it depends, if you are using a convnetion oven, the temperatur is going to be different from the conventional oven, I thik is about 5F of differnece, but I'm not so sure. you can look up on the internet and look for hte right temperatures for your ove, most of hte time temperature is a major issue for some people.

[pakaza]

Yummy will try these tonight!

[tcMEmperor]

Love all the videos, keep up the great work!

[meggiemeg86]

Any suggestions as to what I can use in place of ice cream? Not a big fan. Also, is ice cream traditionally used to fill profiteroles?

[watermelon165]

Maybe, try frozen yogurt?

[lemonsherry]

whipped cream.

[pinkshrimp]

yep profiteroles go hand in hand with vanilla ice cream..

[jdpicou]

Creme Chantilly.

Watch Gordon Ramsay's profiterole video on youtube.

[superharry626]

i like desserts !

[cookingrecipes]

Who does'nt! My wife is great at dessert.

Lucky me .. LOL

[wildbill1911A1]

Nice to see you Amanda. I love profiteroles when I'm out for dinner. I've never made them, but they are soooooo good.

[cookingrecipes]

Yes they are great, but dangerous. Still some in my freezer ... and the chocolate sauce too.

Oh noes ...(Nalts weight loss thingy)

Brian

[copperfists]

those strawberries look different then regular ones. what have you done to them?

[dorotwhy]

The chocolate sauce has my mouth watering ! MMM

[jasonmit]

Wow, that looks really good, and easy to make. Kind of like a little French ice cream sandwich.

[cookingrecipes]

Tasty indeed ;-)

bj

[lindasue1954]

I'm preparing my shopping list from your videos. Loved this one too.

[cookingrecipes]

Fantastic ;-)

Let me know how the recipes work out for you.

Chef Brian

[txnrobin]

another excellent demonstration, i might try it too (y'all are responsible for any future weight gain you know).

i also appreciate the pronunciation of the french terms, i can read and understand what they are, but don't know how to pronounce them! ;)

[cookingrecipes]

Hey Robin,

Well this one were sure on ;-)

Some are tricky though that is for sure! Exercise daily before enjoying and weight gain should not be an issue ;-)

Chef Brian

[RufioJJ]

aww Chef B-thanks so much! i feel honored you are doing (or your wife is doing) a chocolate recipe! oh ya-now definitely making these! favin this

[cookingrecipes]

No problem, fun to have these as easy desserts around the house.

Chef Brian

(And Sous Chef Amanda)

[robertpina99]

Oh, no. You're supposed to show us hard to make recipes that I could never make on my own. I'm going to have to try this and eat it myself. This is bad. This is very bad.

[cookingrecipes]

Bad ... ;-(

What is a chef to do??

Brian

[cgtlv]

I think I will make these.  They look good.

[cookingrecipes]

Oh yes, very good indeed!

Chef Brian

[cgtlv]

The first step looks like my playdough, the doughball part.

[tunisianswife]

who knew something so decadent could be so simple! (and as a knitter as well, have to say I love the cable pattern of sous chef Amanda's sweater) Susan

[cookingrecipes]

Hey Susan,

I passed your message on to sous chef Amanda ;-) So many french pastries are derived from this simple pâte à choux dough.

Enjoy ...

Chef Brian
