Ingredients
- Choux pastry please refer to my choux pastry recipe](//rasamalaysia.com/choux-pastry-recipe/)
- Ice Cream
- Chocolate Sauce
- Ground Peanuts
- Raspberries or cherries/blueberries/blackberries, for topping
Chocolate Sauce Recipe[Makes about 1 cup (236 ml)]
- 3.5 oz (100g) dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder natural or dutch-processed
- 1/3 cup golden syrup (Lyle’s brand) or light corn syrup or light agave nectar
- 1/3 cup heavy (double) cream
- 1/3 cup confectioner’s powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch fine grain sea salt
Instructions
- Slice the choux pastry in half using a sharp knife. Scoop a portion of ice cream and place it between the two halves of pastry. Drizzle generously with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with ground peanuts. Add some raspberries before serving.
Chocolate Sauce Recipe
- Place the chopped dark chocolate and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (ensure the bowl does not touch the water) and heat until the chocolate has melted.
- With the pan off the heat, stir in the golden syrup, followed by the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- Transfer the mixture to a glass jar or heatproof container with a lid, and serve it over your choice of ice cream. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days; rewarm before serving.
Notes
- I cut the quantity of my choux pastry recipe into half and made eight (8) choux pastry.
- For profiteroles, make sure you make bigger choux pastry (big enough to hold one scoop of ice cream). When piping the choux pastry dough, please pipe more dough to make the choux pastry bigger.
