Profiteroles with Chocolate Sauce

Profiteroles are one of those desserts that are a real luxury. Pastry, cream and chocolate. Where can you go wrong with that combination? Well, quite a lot of champagne won't help...

I recently moved house, and so I have a new kitchen! We had our first "dinner party" and I made these. Unfortunately by the time I came to make the chocolate sauce I was a little (very) drunk, and so it was less "sauce" and more "solid". So, take my word for it that they taste better than they look!



Ingredients (makes approx. 24)
60g plain flour
1 tsp sugar
50g butter
2 eggs, beaten
275ml (½ pint) double cream, whipped
200g dark chocolate
