Though the origin of the profiterole is French, it is quite popular in Italian cuisine. Nonna Dorotea has always loved making them with her mother-in-law’s recipe and filling them with simple Pastry Cream. She began topping them with a chocolate ganache sauce to take them to the next level, because what’s more romantic than chocolate?
