Colombian Chocolate & Hazelnut Profiterole Wreath
INGREDIENTS
Profiteroles (8 Servings)
- 3 Eggs (for the dough)
- 1 Egg (for the glazing)
- 200ml – Water
- 100g – Plain flour
- 80g – Butter
- 10g – Natvia sweetener (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Profiterole filling (8 Servings)
- Frozen cherries
- 2 tbsp – Natvia sweetener
- 1 tub of Oppo's Colombian Chocolate & Hazelnut ice cream
To serve
- 80% dark chocolate
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 180 degrees fan-assisted.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, sweetener, salt and water together. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in the plain flour until combined.
- Return pan to medium-high heat and cook, stirring vigorously, until mixture pulls away from the sides and a film forms on the bottom of the pan (this takes around about 3 minutes.)
- Remove from heat and transfer contents to a bowl to cool slightly (about 3 minutes.)
- Add 3 eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition and waiting until each is entirely incorporated before adding the next egg.
- Pipe large circles about 1 ½ inch wide and 1-inch tall on a baking sheet.
- Dip your finger in water and press down the piped points so they don't burn.
- Combine the last egg with water to make an egg wash and brush on each surface of each profiterole.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Once golden, reduce temperature to 175C and open the door slightly. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Place the profiteroles back in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
- For the frozen cherry filling, blend frozen cherries with 2 tbsp of sweetener to make a berry purée .
- Cut the profiteroles in halves, spoon some cherry filling into a half as well as a scoop of Oppo's Colombian Chocolate & Hazelnut ice cream and add the other profiterole half back on top.
- Place the 7-8 profiteroles (depending on size) onto a serving plate in a wreath shape
- To serve, melt 80% dark chocolate in a hot water basin and drizzle over the profiteroles.
- To finish, decorate with cherries, small sticks of rosemary and slightly sprinkle with icing sugar to create a snow effect. Optional of course!
- Then, most importantly, enjoy your #GoodTemptation
Love, Team Oppo x
