Dulce de Leche Profiteroles
Vanilla ice cream for dessert? Please. Let’s kick it up and make it into a cream puff. Take that and and top it off with a dulce de leche sauce. I can’t take it. It’s too much happiness all at once.
ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
pinch of salt
1 cup flour
4 eggs
vanilla ice cream (recipe, here)
dulce de leche
In a pot over high heat, bring the water, milk, butter and salt to a boil.
Carefully add the flour and stir until the mixture pulls away from the sides. Cook for another minute or so to cook the flour out a bit. Let cool for a minute, then pour into the bowl of an electric mixer.
On low speed beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Do not overbeat.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Using a mini ice cream scoop place about a Tablespoon of the dough onto a silpat lined baking sheet. Approx 12 per sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, lower the oven temp to 350 bake for another 10 mins. Turn off the oven and let the puffs dry in the warm oven for yet another ten minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Now you can make dulce de leche or buy it, totally up to you. I like to warm mine up and thin it down a bit so it looks a little more caramel-y rather than thick, but it’s all a matter of taste.
Slice the puffs in half and fill with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top that off with a drizzle of sweet dulce de leche, and eat!
Droooool.
I think I might get in trouble with a bottle of that stuff around.
i dont have an electric mixer– do you think i can make this using good ol elbow grease (without my arm falling off!)?
Aw, man, why did you have to post that pic of the Dulce de Leche Profiterole? Now I have to find someone to bribe to MAKE it for me. Yummm (whine, moan)
