Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
½ cup butter
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon rose water
1 cup heavy cream
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the butter and salt until the butter has melted; remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the flour until no dry lumps remain; stir in the eggs, one at a time, adding the next egg only after the last one has been completely incorporated into the mixture. Drop the profiterole paste onto the prepared baking sheet in evenly spaced dollops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pastries have puffed up and turned golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack to room temperature.
  • Beat 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks; stir in the confectioners' sugar and rosewater until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the remaining cup of heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth.

Crabmeat and Avocado Profiteroles Recipe image

Provided by akselden

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crabmeat and Avocado Salad
4 oz. lump crabmeat,
picked over for cartilage
1/2 avocado
juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp. buttermilk
2 tsp. chives
1 tbsp. cilantro, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground
black pepper and
cayenne pepper to taste
Pate a Choux Dough
(for the profiteroles)
6 tbsp. (3 oz.) unsalted butter
3/4 c. water
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp. sugar
4 eggs

Steps:

  • For the crabmeat and avocado salad: Place the crabmeat in a bowl and combine with the avocado, lime juice, buttermilk, chives and cilantro. Season generously with salt, pepper and cayenne. For the dough: Preheat oven to 450°. In 2 quart pot, combine the butter and water. On a piece of wax or parchment paper, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Bring the water and butter to a rolling boil, remove from heat and dump the flour mixture in all at once. Stir with wooden spoon or paddle to incorporate. Return the saucepot to high heat and cook, stirring for about one minute. The mixture will form a ball and coat the pan with a thin film. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl or standing mixer equipped with the paddle attachment. Mix the dough for a minute or so on low speed, to release some of the heat. Add the eggs, one at a time, completely incorporating each one before adding the next. Beat until dough gets thick and ribbony. Fit a pastry bag with a round tip #5 and fill with the warm dough. Line a heavy cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pipe about 40-50 1 inch mounds about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden and puffed. Reduce heat to 350° and bake for another 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and there is no sign of moisture in the crevices. Use when cool or freeze wrapped in a plastic bag for 2-3 months. To assemble: Using a serrated knife, cut the profiteroles in half and fill with the crabmeat and avocado filling Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
