PROFITEROLE: Tiny cream puff, filled with sweet or savory mixtures, served as dessert or hors d'oeuvre. Some people think Profiteroles, Éclairs and Cream Puffs are all the same. But they are not because Profiteroles are frozen. In French, profiterole is chou à la crème; a French choux pastry ball filled with whipped cream, custard, pastry cream, or ice cream. According to food historians, the original meaning of the name “profiterole” can be traced in the English language to 1600. When a treat was offered as recompense, it meant that it was a type of small reward or profit. #desserts #sweettreats Barefoot Contessa is a popular TV cooking show in the USA on the Food Network Channel and this is her recipe for Profiteroles. ~ https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/profiteroles
