Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make choux pastry: In a saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
Shape and bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden and puffed. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Whip the cream filling: Beat 1 cup heavy cream with confectioners’ sugar and rose water (if using) until soft peaks form.
Make ganache: Heat remaining 1 cup heavy cream until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until smooth.
Assemble profiteroles: Poke a small hole in each pastry and pipe or spoon in the whipped cream filling. Drizzle with warm chocolate ganache before serving.

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Make sure the pastries are completely cooled before filling, or the cream will melt.
For a lighter option, swap whipped cream with vanilla pastry cream.
To make ahead, bake and store the choux shells in an airtight container, then fill just before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Fill with ice cream instead of whipped cream for a profiterole sundae.
Top with caramel or berry sauce for variety.
Serve on a dessert platter with fresh fruit and extra chocolate sauce for dipping.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate filled profiteroles in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze unfilled pastry shells for up to 2 months. Thaw and crisp in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes before filling.
Do not freeze filled profiteroles as the cream will lose its texture.
