Profiteroles are small, crisp, hollow rounds of choux pastry that are split in half and filled with sweet whipped cream or ice cream....The classic version arranges the profiteroles in a pyramid shape with warm chocolate sauce poured over the top.....The baked puffed shell or pate a choux is cooked two times.....First the flour is cooked with the milk and then it is baked....And it is first baked at a higher temperature so that the dough rises quickly leaving a space in the center of the pastry and then a lower temperature to bake the inside of the shell nicely and to make the outer crust crispy....This recipe is adopted from David Lebovitz
