Easy French

I love french food, so i thought it would be perfect to make a classic, Profiteroles . This is a perfect light dessert to end any meal. Profiteroles can be filled with any flavor ice cream or whipped cream. I decided to stick with ice cream, i used a good quality vanilla, but any flavor can be used.

The recipe i used was in French, so i had to improvise a little. French doesn't translate perfectly to English, but the recipe was so simple i just went with it.

Profiterole

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs

Ganache

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups chocolate

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place water, milk, butter, and salt together in a saucepan. Once it comes to a boil take if off the heat and add all of the flour at once. Stir until dough forms, put back on heat for about a minute or two. Take back off heat and add one egg at a time, stir until dough forms. I used a pipping bag with a #1 star tip and pipped them on a cookie sheet, you can use 2 spoons. You want the size of a ping pong or golf ball. I melted a little of butter and dipped a spoon in the butter and pushed down on the points so they wouldn't burn.Once done put the profiterole in the oven for 10  minutes. When 10 minutes pass turn down the oven to 320 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Try not to open the door! When they are golden brown they are done. Let cool, and cut tops off. Scope ice cream into the profiterole and top with ganache. To make the ganache put heavy cream in a saucepan and heat to a boil, take off heat and add chocolate and stir! Enjoy!
