Caramel profiterole ice-cream cakes

Caramel profiterole ice-cream cakes combine the light, airy texture of choux pastry with the rich, creamy indulgence of ice cream and chocolate. This dessert is perfect for special occasions, offering an elegant presentation and a delicious blend of flavors that will impress your guests.

Ingredients:

1 cup water
250g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
4 eggs
200g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

2. Boil Water and Butter: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of butter. Bring them to a boil over medium heat.
3. Add Flour: Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
4. Cool the Dough: Transfer the dough into a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes. This will prevent the eggs from cooking when you add them.
5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
6. Pipe the Dough: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small mounds (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the profiteroles are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Cut Profiteroles: Once the profiteroles are cool, use a sharp knife to carefully cut them in half horizontally.
10. Fill with Ice Cream: Scoop a small spoonful of softened ice cream onto the bottom half of each profiterole. Place the top half of the profiterole back on.
11. Freeze: Transfer the filled profiteroles to a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until the ice cream is firm.
13. Dip Profiterole Tops: Remove the ice cream-filled profiteroles from the freezer. Dip the tops into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
14. Drizzle Caramel: If you wish, drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate-dipped profiteroles for extra flavor.
15. Serve: Serve immediately, or return to the freezer until ready to serve.

Tips:

- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Precision is key when making choux pastry. Ensure you measure all ingredients accurately to achieve the perfect texture.

- Use Room Temperature Eggs: Room temperature eggs integrate more easily into the dough, leading to a smoother, more consistent pastry.

- Cool the Dough Before Adding Eggs: After cooking the dough on the stovetop, let it cool for a few minutes before adding eggs. This prevents the eggs from cooking too soon.

- Melt Chocolate Slowly: Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwave with short intervals to avoid burning it.

- Prepare in Advance: You can make the choux pastry and ice cream filling ahead of time. Assemble the cakes just before serving for a fresh and impressive dessert.

With these caramel profiterole ice-cream cakes, you'll have a delightful dessert that's sure to be a hit. The combination of crisp choux pastry, smooth ice cream, and luxurious chocolate creates a treat that's both visually stunning and incredibly tasty.
