This classic profiteroles dessert is easier to make than you think. The ultimate combination of pasty, cream and chocolate these makes profiteroles a definite crowd pleaser.

The choux pastry is excellent!

The choux pastry recipe is excellent. But I added 4tbsp icing sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract to 300ml thickened cream before whipping it until stiff. This adds sweetness fo the filling.
