Profiterole "Choux": a delicate cloud from France
What is "Choux"?
Profiterole "Choux" (from fr. *#choux * — "cabbage") is an airy French treat made from choux pastry, filled with cream. Its main feature is a crispy crust on the outside and a delicate, almost empty texture on the inside, which is generously filled with custard, whipped cream, or even mousse.
