Profiteroles are delightful French pastries made from choux pastry, which is a light and airy dough. They are typically filled with sweet cream, custard, or ice cream and are often topped with chocolate sauce or caramel. The dough is piped into small balls and baked until golden, creating a hollow center perfect for filling. These treats are popular for their versatility and can be served as a dessert or a part of a larger dessert platter. Profiteroles can also be enjoyed at celebrations and special occasions, making them a favorite among pastry lovers around the world.
