📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Profiteroles are a traditional dessert said by some to date back to the French court of the Renaissance. Small choux puffs are filled with vanilla ice cream and drowned in warm chocolate sauce just before serving. The contrast of cold ice cream and warm sauce makes them a favorite on restaurant dessert menus.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the end of a meal in a Paris bistro, the waiter pours chocolate sauce at the table with a flourish.
