Stories Collected While Living in France
How to make Profiteroles au Chocolat:
Take a golden cloud,
fill it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream,
lace it with thick velvet ribbons of chocolate,
Crown it with toasted almonds.
Enjoy! Don't forget to lick the pan.
Photos: France is a wonder land of sweet things. My cousin Julie (aka Sheba) and I enjoying the moment.
I WILL lick the pan, sure!
Has anybody ended up with a chocolate “jabot” or at least a chocolate bow?
oh! oh! I guess I have to go out inmediately…and get some of those…seeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya!
Oh I’m hungry all of a sudden!!! Glad you and Julie had such a yummy time.
Ahh…French desserts, at least the delicious photos are calorie-free 🙂
Not only do you French eat well, you eat pretty 🙂 Fortunately, it was my Maman that represented the French in my family. She cooked with plenty of cream and butter and chocolate. Now I know what I will make for dessert tonight…
Yum! Have to make some of those golden clouds real soon.

mmmm, Corey, they look wonderful! Save one for me!
Oh, you know how to tempt me!
Isn’t it wonderful how chocolate always makes us feel so decadent — and now they say its actually good for us — will that take some of the flavor away?
For a second I was about to lick the computer screen, LOL.
What a delicious post!
Remember darling for some money talks
but oh chocolate
it sings!
Love you
Sweets!

Mmmmmmmm chocolate and pastry with cream – a match made in heaven!
Nothing like have a delicious dessert for my “virtual breakfast”. I love the toasted almond touch! Toasted nuts add so much in so many dishes, but I’ve not tried them on Profiteroles! I will be giving it a whirl.
Looks absolutely delicious!
Just the pan??
Your blog is such a delight, every day!
This looks divine. I’d not only lick the pan but my fingers as well 😀
Isn’t this one of the best desserts ever? I like Pear Belle Helene too. Now I”m in the mood for chocolate.
That sounds devine!
Yum!!! TRES YUM!!! =)
“There’s nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE”… yum… looks divine! xox
O’my goodness….yum!

I’ll lick the bowl and the plates, please. 🙂
Sheeba and Julie make me think immediately of Julia Child’s “Queen of Sheeba”, the best chocolate cake in my book.
This is what I get for disappearing for a couple of days. I return to enough calories to put all the 13 lbs I’ve lost back ON in one glance. LOL
Mmmmm…those look sooo good! And Corey, I saw your interview in Somerset Life Magazine at Barnes & Noble this morning – congratulations! Have you seen the issue yet? All your images look so beautiful and your writing is eloquent and poetic. 🙂

oh my….looks delicious…I am off to grab my leftovers from the company fridge, but will be thinking of golden puffs and chocolate ribbons!!
I’m here at my desk eating tuna salad and tomatoes. That dessert sure looks wonderful.
I can feel my thighs expanding just looking at the image !!!!!!!
I was already feeling a bit hungry.. like needing a croissant and an espresso…But, this, this is incredible. I am now starving! I must attend the next time! From afar, must still…You know what I mean.. I need one now!!!xxxooo, V

C’est divin ! le pêché de la gourmandise …
Bon Appétit!
When I am eating my itty bitty, teeny tiny Weight Watchers eclair, I will pretend I am eating this with you in France instead! 🙂

You have reminded me. I used to make wonderful profiteroles then lost the knack. I will try again and follow your recipe and it may work again.
that looks heavenly!
I adore Profiteroles au chocolat.
It looked so good I had to get the closest thing to it at the store. Chocolate croissant-it was good but not as yummy looking as your dessert.
Ahhh…the way to this girls heart is through her stomach. I adore profiteroles, especially when they are covered in chocolate!
Yummy! I don’t know exactly what it is other than your descriptions and what I can see in the pictures. What does it taste like? It looks delicious.
I see the profit in the Profiteroles! I do!
oh my goodness-perfect dessert!
That looks completely divine! There’s nothing in the world like French pastries, I LOVE them! Although, I think the US has completely mastered the art of the “cookie”. I should know. :0)
I’m flying into Toulouse in July, but we’ll be down in Marseille plenty for visiting, so maybe we can share a yummy cafe and tartes aux pommes! :0)
Spring reveals its truest colors!
I wish I was Julia…
Teresa Sheeley, I feel your pain! 🙂
Looks delicious, but Bossy is waiting until the Golden Clouds are buy one get one free.
Yum!! Those look and sound absolutely divine!
whisking by this post as I am on a “you~know~what” eek, profiteroles are my favorite.
I will be thinner, I will be thinner, I will be thinner…
