DUTCH CHOCOLATE PROFITEROLES
Cream Puffs:
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 whole eggs
Heat oven to 400Β°. Heat water and butter to rolling boil in saucepan. Stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about I minute; remove from heat. Beat in eggs, all at once, continue beating until smooth. Drop dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, 35-40 minutes. Cool away from draft. Cut off tops; pull out any filaments of soft dough. Fill puffs with chilled cream filling. Replace tops; dust with powdered sugar. Refrigerate until serving time. Yield: 6 cream puffs.
Cream Filling:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups half-and-half
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
Garnish:
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 c semi-sweet mini chocolate morsels
Mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in 2-quart saucepan. Stir in half-and-half gradually. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir at least half of the hot mixture gradually into egg yolks. Blend into hot mixture. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla; cool.
