Step by step recipe:
Preheat oven to 220°C or 428°F. Make 450 g Choux pastry (pâte à choux). Using a forcing bag, pipe small heaps of dough (about 1 cm or 0.8 inch diameter) on a baking sheet. Round off the small peaks with a tablespoon dipped in milk. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on each heap. |  |
Put in the oven and cook until choux are golden brown. Leave to cool on a rack. |  |
With a steak knife, split each choux in half, horizontally. |  |
Fill each choux with a teaspoon of vanilla ice-cream. |  |
And finally, top with plenty of chocolate sauce, warm or hot, and serve immediately. |  |
Remarks:
Classic profiteroles, as in this recipe, can be varied many ways: "inversed" with chocolate ice-cream and custard (crème anglaise), "mint out" with chocolate ice-cream, and mint crème anglaise or "mint in" with mint ice-cream and chocolate sauce, etc.If you like them, you can sprinkle chopped almonds with the sugar top of dough heaps.
It's a dessert that can easily be made in advance, but filling with ice-cream and topping with chocolate sauce must be done at the last minute.
Contrary to most other recipes and websites, I think that profiteroles should be made with small "bite-size" puffs rather than big ones which need to be cut before eating. You should be able to eat profiteroles with a teaspoon.

This is another weakness of mine. I love choux pastry. Sprinkle profiteroles with chopped almond and sugar?? Oh, that would be a real treat. My favourite is profiterole filled with beaten cream with a bit of sugar. Yummy!
