Other forms: profiteroles
A profiterole is a small French pastry that's filled with cream and often drizzled with chocolate.
You can think of a profiterole as a bite-sized cream puff. This delicacy is made by baking airy choux pastry and then piping pastry cream, whipped cream, or even ice cream inside. A particularly impressive way to serve profiteroles is to pile them into a tower that's held together with strands of caramel — a fancy dessert called a croquembouche. In French, profiterole means "small profit," or "small treat given as a reward."
