Profiterole mountain
September 8, 2007
G said the other day thank-you for not putting the pictures of me on your blog and I suddenly realised that I hadn’t exposed him to the humiliation that I had intended to!
For his birthday BBQ last weekend he had asked one of our friends to make him profiteroles for his birthday cake.
Which she kindly did and assembled into a profiterole mountain in our kitchen. Gorgeous huge adequate sized nuggets of air filled with Baileys cream and smothered with rich dark chocolate sauce.
And as you can see from the first photo, completely and utterly gorgeous when devoured!

Um, Gemma, this is not helping my resolve at all. ;)
I’m now just openly drooling. I love choux pastry anyway, but the thought of Bailey’s cream just sent me over the edge.
WOW!!! I’ve never heard of Profiteroles. But to me, they look like Cream Puffs. Yes?
Oh please give the recipe for the filling! You said; “…filled with Baileys cream” Does that mean that Baileys is added to whipped cream, which is injected into them? Oh yes, I bet that’s it!
Oh wow! Cream Puffs with not just plain whipped cream inside. With Baileys Whipped Cream inside! Oh joy!

I’m drooling! Oh yes, please post a recipe!!
Wow, they look good, how many did he manage to eat??
ooooh, my absolute favourite! they look so good…no wonder he has a huge grin (and lots of chocolate!) on his face
um, those look delicious. Happy belated b-day to G! and i’m sure if those profiteroles were in my face’s reach, it would have been a hell of a lot messier than his!
