Profiteroles, French Pastry

Profiterole is a very unique French dessert. It is a crisp but light pastry ball with a sweet, creamy and moist filling. The outer crispness and inner creaminess is what makes each mouthful a delight to savour.



An ideal choice when you need a light dessert, this Profiterole just melts in your mouth leaving a creamy, chocolaty aftertaste. The drizzling of molten chocolate boosts the visual appeal and taste of the Profiterole making it absolutely irresistible.

You can prepare the pastry rolls in advance and store in an airtight container, where it will stay good for 3 or 4 days. When required, add the filling, drizzle the melted chocolate and serve immediately.

You can also try other popular French desserts like the Crème Brulée , Fresh Fruit Flambé and Crepes Belle Helene .
