Profiterole cream: recipes
Profiteroles, eclairs, custard rings, gougeres ... What do all these goodies have in common? - Choux pastry, French roots and ... high calorie content. Profiteroles are custard cakes with cream, very tasty and translated from the original language as "reward".
It would be wrong to refuse such a pleasure, so we prepare French cakes using a "healthy" technique - useful pp profiteroles without flour, with a gentle, low-calorie cream.
On a note! Since we do choux pastry without flour, the set of ingredients is not the most familiar and affordable. But in the current conditions, it is not a problem to find one or another ingredient - whether in the dietary departments of stores, specialty stores of healthy and medical food, and online services with delivery.
First, let's prepare the profiteroles. Cream for them can be any, like sweet (then it will be a dessert) or unsweetened ( great snack). Today we are preparing dessert.
For choux pastry you will need:
On a note! Gluten, or gluten, is extracted from wheat grains and is needed to bind the dough. In fact, it is a vegetable wheat protein, it contains 70 grams of protein and 18 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams of product. It improves the structure of the dough, makes it tender, airy, increases the shelf life and freshness of baked goods.
We dose all products - before cooking, each ingredient must be ready for use at its own moment.
We mix gluten, cornstarch, baking powder, vanillin and sakhzam.
In a separate bowl, boil water and salt on the stove. In the meantime, we are preparing a mixer, a whisk or a spoon - a tool that will need to actively stir the brewing dough.
When the water has boiled, pour the prepared dry mixture into it and immediately start stirring until the dough is completely brewed. Clumps will form and the mass will become uneven. I mixed the dough with a mixer, but the lumps still remained. But that's okay. The dough is brewed quickly - within 20-30 seconds.
When the dough is brewed, you need to grind it with a blender. After a blender (submersible or stationary - it doesn't matter) the mass will become more uniform.
The dough after the blender will be still warm, you need to add all the eggs one by one to it. Pour the egg into the dough - punch it with a blender. Pour in the second egg - blender again. And so all 4 eggs.
The dough turns out to be viscous, soft, homogeneous. There will not be a trace of the lumps. Put it on a non-stick mat / mold / baking sheet using a pastry bag (or bag). We form cakes in the form of round cakes. The dough will flow a little, but it will rise and lock during baking.
We bake profiteroles for 30 minutes at 180 ° C. Do not open the oven during baking! There is a risk of dough falling off.
The finished cakes will rise quite a lot, brown and get a dense, stable crust. I left them to cool in the oven for 30 minutes before I took them out.
Result: the profiteroles are fluffy, hollow on the inside, as needed, a little crispy on the outside, but not hard. They smell like vanilla and France.
I got a large portion - for a family of 4 adults. About 25 cakes. And I also made 1 custard "ring" - for my beloved.
Nutritional value and calorie content of useful profiteroles without cream (I got 280 g of this miracle):
1 cake weighs no more than 10 grams, that is, the calorie content of one empty profiterole is 29.2 kcal.
Be that as it may, custard cakes without filling are not very popular. It is the filler - "ice" in this culinary masterpiece.
Firstly, an exciting and pleasant aroma of the filling flows through a small hole in the profiterole, secondly, it is always a mystery - "What's inside?"
Many healthy and healthy foods can be used as a filling. I will offer their options later, but for now we are preparing 2 delicious cream for profiteroles on the skeleton of soft cottage cheese.
I made 2 flavors of cottage cheese filling: strawberry and toffee.
The preparation is elementary: we mix the cottage cheese with sahzam and salt, divide into 2 parts. Add 1 type of syrup to each bowl: strawberries and toffee. We mix.
To fill the profiteroles with cream, you can use a pastry syringe. But I didn't have it, so I got by with a medical syringe. At the base we pierce the cake, put the cream into the syringe and "release" it from the syringe through the hole made into the profiterole. Thanks to the large internal voids of the cake, the cream enters well and does not leak out.
Since flavors such as the syrups mentioned above are not very common on grocery store shelves, you can replace the filling with the following options:
I advise you to keep the filled useful profiteroles in the refrigerator for 1.5 - 2 hours. So the cream will be absorbed into the cake, it will become softer, more tender, airy and more plump.
Nutritional value and calorie content of beneficial profiteroles without flour with dietary cream:
Weight of 1 profiterole with cream - about 18-20 gr. In this case, its calorie content will be 35.8 kcal.
The profiteroles are ready, the tea is warmed and poured into cups. And I wish you Bon appetit! Eat with joy and health.
The recipe for tiny, hollow on the inside, choux pastry buns, called profiteroles, was invented by restless French chefs. The versatility of this invention is that anything can be used as a filling for profiteroles: cream, jelly, mousse, soft cheese and even meat, mushrooms or salads.
But we are talking about desserts, which means that we will only consider sweet filling options. The cream, which is intended for profiteroles, can be anything: custard, protein, butter, butter, coffee - the options are endless. If you wish, you can even stuff the profiteroles with ordinary boiled condensed milk. Mini cakes are usually served with hot drinks: coffee, tea or cocoa.
Custard profiteroles are a classic of French cuisine. Airy dough goes well with delicate melting cream. So, we need:
There shouldn't be any difficulties with custard, you just need to carefully study the recipe and try not to deviate from it:
Condensed milk cream is, perhaps, a Russian invention. After all, condensed milk is, one might say, a national product. The recipe for such a filling is unimaginably simple: take half a can of condensed milk and beat it with a pack of butter. Small cakes are filled with this mixture.
Another option: mix 500 grams of mascarpone cheese with condensed milk, which will be enough to take only 100 - 150 grams. However, here you need to be guided by taste.
However, you can do even easier: fill the mini-buns with boiled condensed milk purchased at the store.
As already mentioned, profiteroles can be filled with various fillings. For example, a delicate curd-butter cream is very good for this purpose. To create it you will need:
The recipe for making such a filler is not at all complicated: first, chilled cream is whipped well together with sugar (plain and vanilla), then curd cheese is mixed into the resulting mass. Everything is thoroughly mixed until smooth. The resulting cream is used to fill the cake blanks that had cooled by that time. You can introduce the filling with the help of a special pastry syringe or with a regular spoon - as it is more convenient.
Various jellies or mousses are often used as a filling for profiteroles: orange, banana, lemon, and so on. We suggest trying very interesting recipe- strawberry cream. For him you need:
At the beginning, if the strawberries are frozen, they must be defrosted by placing them in a colander: this will drain the excess juice. Then soak gelatin in cold water. Meanwhile, beat the berries in a blender. Add sugar and swollen gelatin to the crushed berry puree, and boil the mixture over low heat until the gelatin dissolves. It is important to avoid boiling!
After that, the container with berry jelly is placed in a bowl of ice and cooled until it thickens. Ready profiteroles are filled with the resulting mass.
In conclusion, it remains to add that you can endlessly experiment with a cream intended for profiteroles. For example, enter into it various additives: grated nuts and chocolate, pieces of fruits and berries - in general, whatever you like!
