Pastry Puffs

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Chocolate Sauce

Method

Pastry Puffs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a saucepan, combine water and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy.

  3. 3

    Bake the Puffs

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

  1. 4

    Make the Base

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and the seeds from the vanilla bean. Heat over medium until sugar is dissolved.

  2. 5

    Temper the Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper.

  3. 6

    Chill and Churn

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator, then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Chocolate Sauce

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and butter, stirring until smooth.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Serve

    Cut the profiteroles in half, fill with vanilla bean ice cream, drizzle with warm chocolate sauce, and serve immediately.
