Master Receita Solta

Resumo para quem tem pressa
"Classic of French confectionery, profiteroles combine hollow choux pastry with light whipped cream filling and dark chocolate topping. It is worth making at home because the dough rises from the steam of the eggs, resulting in a light and airy texture without chemical leavening."
O Que Você Precisa Saber
- A massa choux precisa cozinhar na panela até secar no fundo e formar uma película fina antes de receber os ovos - Os ovos devem ser adicionados um a um na massa morna para garantir a emulsão e o ponto de bico - O forno a 200°C não pode ser aberto nos primeiros 20 minutos para evitar que as carolinas murchem

Instructions
Main Course
In a pot, place the water, butter, and the pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and add the wheat flour all at once, stirring well until a homogeneous dough forms.
Return to low heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Transfer the dough to a bowl and add the eggs, one by one, mixing well.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the dough in a piping bag.
On a greased baking sheet, form small balls of dough, leaving space between them.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until they are golden and puffed.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by beating the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bain-marie and set aside.

How to Store
Store the filled profiteroles in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 2 days. The unfilled shells maintain their crispy texture for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can You Freeze It?
The baked cream puffs without filling can be frozen for up to 60 days in an airtight bag. To use, take it straight to the oven at 180°C for 5 minutes to regain crispness. The filled profiterole should not be frozen.
What to Serve With
Serve accompanied by espresso or strong brewed coffee to contrast with the sweetness of the whipped cream. Fresh red fruits like strawberries also balance the fat of the chocolate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Por que os profiteroles murcharam depois de sair do forno?
Geralmente isso ocorre quando o forno foi aberto antes da hora ou as carolinas foram retiradas antes de secarem totalmente por dentro. Deixe dourar bem e, se necessário, desligue o forno deixando a porta entreaberta por 5 minutos.
How do I know the exact consistency of the batter before adding the eggs?
The dough must be cooked in the pot over low heat until it completely pulls away from the bottom and sides, forming a homogeneous ball and leaving a slight white film on the bottom of the pot.
Can I use boxed cream for the filling?
No, traditional boxed heavy cream has only 17% to 20% fat and does not reach the whipped cream point. Use fresh heavy cream or pasteurized cream with at least 35% fat, well chilled.
What is the ideal consistency of the dough for piping?
The dough should be shiny, smooth, and fall slowly from the spoon forming a consistent 'V'. If you put too many eggs it becomes liquid and spreads on the baking sheet without inflating.
