Ingredients

Profiteroles:

1 cup water

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup butter

2 tbsp sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

5 eggs

Chocolate sauce

10 oz dark chocolate

2 cups heavy cream

2tbsp butter

½ tsp vanilla

Orange cream filling:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

3 tbsp powder sugar

1 orange zest

Caramel:

200gm sugar

2tbsp water

1/3 cup roasted blanched almonds

Directions

Make the profiteroles first:

Grease and flour a baking sheet. Combine water, salt, butter and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add flour and baking powder all at once. Cook, stirring vigorously until mixture leaves sides of pan, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Turn into a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth and shiny. Let cool.

Drop batter by spoonfuls in 2 inch rounds onto prepared baking sheet or squeeze through a decorating bag with large round tube. Bake on middle oven rack at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. Make a small hall on each immediately after baking. Let cool.

Filling and caramel glaze:

Whip the cream, powder sugar and orange zest until soft peaks form and use to fill each piece with a piping bag. Chill the rest of the cream for the bowl assembling.

Melt the sugar with the 2tbsp water until caramelized and dip each profiteroles piece into it carefully. Set aside.

Chocolate sauce:

Mix the chopped chocolate, heavy cream and butter together in a heavy saucepan and heat gently stirring chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Leave to cool completely without stirring. (You can add 1 tbsp vegetable oil if you want the mixture to be so runny)

To assemble:

Pipe enough whipped cream to only cover the bottom of your serving bowl. Place the first layer of the prepared profiteroles over the cream and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Keep repeating the same process until the top of the bowl.

N.B for a decorative look, I gathered 5 profiteroles together in the shape of pyramid using the hot caramel and placed it over the top. Sprinkle lightly with almonds and chill for 30minutes – 1 hour.

What a beautiful way to serve this elegant and scrumptious dessert. Again your photos are gorgeous. The ochre and rich chocolate browns, along with the whipped cream, create an edible "painting". Very Van Gogh'ish. Vincent would be happy! :)

Oh my! Really Ahmed, do you own a pastry shop?? You should! I'd come to Egypt just to buy them!! This is wonderful!

annieamie 1 year, 4 months ago said:
Now this is really something different. I have never seen a dessert like this. If your friend invented this recipe, he's a genius! I'll be making this dish and even flavoring my ganache with orange when I make my next batch of eclairs. Thank you for the unique recipe and a NEW recipe to add to my recipe file. Ahmed, its time for you to sell a dessert cookbook! I'd buy one!

Ahmed, I forgot to ask you this question. Please, if the profiteroles are covered in the caramel, do they stay crunchy or crispy after you add the chocolate sauce? Please let me know and thank you!

What a TERRIBLE thing to look at over my lunch hour, sitting at my desk with a leftover breakfast sandwich!!!! I say "terrible" because the pictures are enough to make me fall off my chair from envy and food-lust! Another beautiful creation, Ahmed...just beautiful.

I you were near my hometown I would be there every day and test every one of your desserts... Then you would have to push me ....literally, out of the door as I would be so large I would get wedged in the doorway. :-)
