Chocolate profiteroles


INGREDIENTS
1 cup of flour
1 glass of water
100g of butter
3 eggs
300g of dark chocolate
1/2 glass of milk
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
A dash of salt

PREPARATION
1. Bring the water to a boil. Add the butter and salt, and turn the heat down to low.

2. Carefully stir in the flour, and simmer the batter until you get a smooth paste. Continue stirring.

3. Put the batter in a bowl, and mix in the eggs one by one.

4. Grease a baking sheet with the butter, and sprinkle it with the flour. Heat the oven to 200°Ð¡.

5. Make walnut-sized balls out of the pastry, and lay them on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 200°Ð¡. Then adjust the temperature to 220°Ð¡, and bake for 15 minutes more.

6. Prick your profiteroles with a thin knife to let the steam out.

7. While the profiteroles are cooling down, finely grate 3/4 of the chocolate. Combine the milk and cream, and bring them to a boil. Add the chocolate, and mix thoroughly until it melts completely.

8. Cut each profiterole slightly, and fill it with the cream.

9. To make the icing, melt the rest of the chocolate and garnish each profiterole with 1/2 teaspoon of it. Serve when they cool down completely.

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

CHERRY GALETTES WITH ALMOND SOUR CREAM CRUST

Another month has passed and it’s time for Mystery Dish!  This month’s host was Sarah at The Pajama Chef.  She put together an great list of items including:  coffee, sour cream, farro, almonds, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, jicama, cucumber, tomatoes, flavored oils, herbs, cornmeal and hot peppers.  Since cherries are one of the few fruits I love, and they are only in season for approximately 12 seconds each year, I knew they had to be in my recipe.  Visions of pastry danced in my head. When served up a fruit pie, I tend to eat all the crust and leave the fruit on my plate.  I can truly embrace a “pie” with a higher crust to filling ratio.  How I love the galette (French),  also sometimes known as a crostata (Italian).  Regardless of the origins, who doesn’t love more buttery flaky crust? We had to use at least 3 ingredients in our mystery dish, so I decided to add some almonds and sour cream into my pie crust.   Sour cre...
