Crispy Profiterole Balls

You’re going to make a delicious dessert with that light and fluffy texture. Let’s head to the kitchen for the recipe for crispy profiterole balls.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 heaping tablespoons flour
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 heaping tablespoon butter
  • 1 packet vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon peanut butter
  • 25 grams white chocolate chips
  • 1 packet chocolate sauce
  • 100 milliliters milk
  • 2 packets dark chocolate
Preparation
  1. First, let’s prepare the crispy dough. In a large bowl, mix the cold butter, sugar, and flour with a spatula. Add the peanut butter if desired, and use your hands to form the dough.
  2. Place two sheets of parchment paper on top of each other, roll out the dough with a rolling pin, and use a 3-cm cookie cutter to cut out circles directly on the paper. Carefully transfer the paper to the freezer for about 1 hour.
  3. For the pastry cream: Pour the milk into a saucepan and let it warm slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks. Add the sugar and mix well.
  4. Add the flour. Add the cornstarch and mix. Slowly pour the warmed milk into the egg mixture in a tempering motion, using a ladle.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
  6. While the mixture is still hot, stir in the vanilla, butter, and white chocolate chips. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let it chill in the refrigerator.
  7. For the profiterole dough: In a saucepan, combine the butter, water, and milk, and bring to a boil. Add the flour and a pinch of salt; once the mixture thickens to a non-sticky consistency, remove it from the heat.
  8. Transfer it to a mixer. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix them into the dough mixture until it reaches a cohesive consistency.
  9. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Pipe the dough onto parchment paper, spacing the portions apart.
  10. Place the frozen cookie crisps on top of the piped dough. Think of them as little “hats.”
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for 15 minutes, then open the oven door and bake for another 15 minutes at 170 degrees.
  12. You can serve the baked profiterole shells with pastry cream however you like—either by cutting off the top or filling them completely.
  13. For the topping, heat 250 ml of milk and 3 packages of dark chocolate in a saucepan, then add a little butter to the sauce—this will make it shinier and thicker.
