After my lunch at the M&S food to go counter, I had to browse the dessert aisle. I have a massive sweet tooth and love dessert. Just standing in front of the desserts on display feels so tranquil, it brings me back to being in a sweet shop and looking up at all of those jars filled with sweets.
The hot chocolate profiteroles caught my eye. I thought how could you have hot chocolate mixed with profiteroles? surely the hot chocolate would melt the cream and would make it slightly curdle.
You just heat the profiteroles in the oven for 8 mins and heat the chocolate sauce for 20 secs, put it together and there you go....
The profiteroles had a nice crust, inside was a sweet custard filling. The chocolate sauce comes separate which is just as well, since the profiteroles and the chocolate sauce together can be slightly sweet... even for me. But I love the idea that they've take the humble profiterole and taken it where you can reheat these at home and would make a great dessert for when you have guests round and would want to impress, without having to make the choux pastry from scratch
