Profiteroles
The petite and airy choux pastry, also known as a profiterole or cream puff, is a desert filled with chantilly cream and topped with a chocolate ganache. Although the profiterole has a history with France, the original recipe stems from Italian chef: Panterelli. Panterelli was part of the escort for Catherine de' Medici, wife of Henry II, who arrived at the French Royal court in 1530. Shortly after the French revolution in the 17th century, famous royal chefs connected the high culture of Paris to their extravagant dessert sculptures. Today, profiteroles are still a popular dessert item, as the traditional recipe has been adopted across cultures.
