About this dish
A profiterole, or chou à la crème, known as a cream puff in the US and Canada, is a filled French choux pastry ball with a typically sweet and moist filling of whipped cream, custard, pastry cream, or ice cream. They may be garnished with chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Savory profiteroles are also made, filled with pureed meats, cheese, and so on. These were formerly common garnishes for soups. The various names may be associated with particular variants of filling or sauce in different places. Alan Davidson draws a distinction between profiteroles and cream puffs, describing profiteroles as smaller.
