Have you ever wondered how I make my profiteroles? 😏 many people think that this is just as easy as making a cake. Spoiler alert! It’s not 😅 The whole process actually takes TWO days and a lot of different steps:
⠀
✔The first day I make pastry cream and white chocolate ganache (these creams need to be stabilised for at least 8 hours in the fridge);
✔the next day, early morning, I start by making the fillings: raspberry, berry, and mango coulis, as well as creamy caramel sauce (for the 4 flavours of profiteroles that I make);
✔then I make dough for craquelin (the crunchy top "hat" of profiteroles), roll it in a thin layer, and then freeze it;
✔Next step is to make choux pastry (I boil water with butter, sugar, and salt, then add flour. I wait until it cool down and then add eggs);
✔Now I can pipe choux pastry with piping bag on the tray, add craquelin on top of each profiterole, and then bake them in the oven for about an hour. When they're done, I let them cool down to the room temp;
✔Next I cut each profiterole open, and fill it with coulis or caramel.
✔After that, I whip my pastry creams (which I made the day before) in a food processor;
✔Next, I fill the profiteroles with pastry cream and then add whipped white chocolate ganache on top.
✔Finally, I decorate the profiteroles with pistachios, chopped chocolate, fresh berries, and coconut.
✔And after all those steps, the boxes are going to you, so you can enjoy them 😋🥰
