- 70g unsalted butter
- 100ml water
- 50ml whole milk
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 75g plain flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 300 ml whipping cream
- 50g smooth raspberry jam
- 100g MILKYBAR® Mix-in White Chocolate Chips
- 10g freeze-dried raspberries, blitzed to powder
-
1Prepare the Choux Pastry: In a medium saucepan, combine 100ml of water, 50ml of whole milk, and 70g of unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter has completely melted.
-
2Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Once the butter has melted, add 75g of plain flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
-
3Cool and Mix: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the dough to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in 2 beaten eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
-
4Pipe the Profiteroles: Spoon the choux pastry into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle. Pipe small mounds (about the size of a golf ball) onto a lined baking tray, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion.
-
5Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Bake the profiteroles for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 170°C (338°F) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
6Prepare the Filling & Fill the Profiteroles: In a mixing bowl, whip 300ml of double cream to medium peaks. Gently fold in 50g of smooth raspberry jam until well combined. Transfer the raspberry cream mixture into a clean piping bag. Carefully fill each cooled profiterole with the raspberry cream through a small hole made in the base.
-
7Prepare the Topping & Finish the Profiteroles: Melt 100g of MILKYBAR® Mix-in White Chocolate Chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth. Dip the top of each filled profiterole into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Sprinkle with a small amount of the remaining MILKYBAR® Mix-in and finish with a dusting of freeze-dried raspberry powder for added colour and flavour.
