Morrisons Salted Caramel Profiterole Gateau, 900g (Frozen)

Product Information

Known as one of France's most cherished desserts, choux pastry actually originated in Italy. However, when Catherine Medici came to France to marry Henry II, she also brought over choux pastry. Turn off the heat and move the saucepan onto your counter. Add in your eggs, one at a time, mixing them into the dough well before adding the other egg. It may seem a bit difficult to mix the egg into the dough but after several seconds of vigorous beating, they'll get mixed in and the dough will look smooth and paste-like again rather than glossy and clumpy. Once the eggs are incorporated, you can fill a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe the batter out in medium size mounds (about 1 1/2 inches wide).

Waitrose has a range of sophisticated offerings this year, as well as some exotic flavour combinations to bring a new twist to classic Christmas dishes. Wooden Spoon:Used to beat the flour into the butter mixture in the saucepan. Alternatively, use a rubber spatula. In this recipe, we use store-bought vanilla ice cream. However, if you prefer to make your own, you have two options: While you may have seen choux pastry profiteroles in recipes like a profiteroles tower or profiteroles cake, this classic profiteroles recipe is distinguished by its indulgent profiterole filling of ice cream and topping, warm chocolate sauce.The cake is then filled with layers of fresh orange curd, chocolate sponge, blood orange caramel, and chocolate mousse. Tesco has also recently revealed its Christmas range for 2021, including a gingerbread liqueur and a profiterole gateau along with all the classic festive treats we don't want to go without. Its sundried tomato-stuffed monkfish offers something different for a showstopping main course, while turkey fans can enjoy a brown butter spiced version with Applewood smoked bacon. Starters and sides Once filled, the choux buns are decorated with a warm chocolate sauce, caramel or a dusting of powdered icing sugar. Beat until you have a smooth ball of paste that has left the sides of the saucepan clean – this will probably take less than a minute. Then beat in the beaten eggs – a little at a time, mixing in each addition thoroughly before adding the next – until you have a smooth, glossy paste. At this stage, hold the greased baking sheet under cold running water for a few seconds, and tap it sharply to get rid of excess moisture. This will help create a steamier atmosphere, which in turn helps the pastry to rise.

The chocolate sauce for profiteroles is simply made with melted chocolate and heavy cream, and it’s pure heaven.Sift the flour straight on to the square of parchment and add the sugar. Next, put 5 fl oz (150 ml) of cold water into a medium saucepan, together with the pieces of butter, then place the saucepan over a moderate heat and stir with a wooden spoon. As soon as the butter has melted and the mixture comes up to the boil, turn off the heat immediately, as too much boiling will evaporate some of the water. Then tip in the flour – all in one go – with one hand, while you beat the mixture vigorously with the other. You can do this with a wooden spoon, although an electric hand whisk will save you lots of energy. If you’re celebrating with little ones this year, M&S has dressed up its famous Colin Caterpillar in a cosy (but edible!) Christmas jumper. Starters and sides To make the filling, put the butter, golden syrup, soft brown sugar and salt into a small pan and gently heat until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Chocolate - 70% dark chocolate is the perfect choice to make the chocolate sauce with. Rich and decadent without being overly bitter. A touch of golden syrup adds sweetness to the sauce. You can use honey as an alternative. Warm the heavy cream in a small bowl in the microwave for approximately 10 to 15 seconds, until steaming. Add in the chocolate and stir until it's melted and smooth. British Stuffed Turkey Thigh Joint, price tbc, 850g, serves 4.

Ice Cream Scoop: The easiest way to scoop out the ice cream to fill the profiteroles. A dessert spoon dipped in hot water will also work.To make the topping, melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, or in a microwave. Leave to cool slightly, then dip the top of each choux bun halfway into the chocolate and allow the excess to drip off.
