    Philadelphia Cream Cheese Profiteroles Au Chocolate

    The Painted Lady Restaurant

    The first time I ate profiteroles was in a charming bed and breakfast called The Painted Lady. Built in the early eighteen hundreds, the delightful Victorian home was renovated into a bed and breakfast, restaurant by a young couple with the hope of a future as restaurateurs. The main floor rooms were decorated in old style charm; antique chairs and tables dressed in crisp white linens, set with polished silver and white porcelain china, each table was ready with a hot pot of freshly made tea, in a dainty antique teapot—an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere.

    Gourmet Lunch Nextdoor

    My business was just two blocks from the Painted Lady, so it was easy to slip out of work to have a delicious gourmet lunch and return for my next appointment. The food was as delightful as the surroundings. The menu was well-balanced with light sandwiches, flavorful salads, savory soups, and my favorite, Fettuccine Alfredo. The chef's name escapes me at the moment, however, her food made a lasting impression. I was always eager to finish my meal with a sumptuous dessert My first choice was always their Profiteroles Au Chocolate.

    Fresh Made

    The profiteroles, made fresh every day and filled with homemade vanilla bean ice cream, topped with a stunning home-made chocolate fudge, silvered almonds, and whipped cream. Yum! Unfortunately, the Painted Lady Bed and Breakfast closed its doors. Sadly, I felt cheated out of my sweet lunch indulgence forever, or so I thought.

    Mastered

    I started to have cravings for the scrumptious Profiteroles so I was forced to learn how to make them myself. I was stunned when I figured out how easy profiteroles were to make and extremely pleased when my first batch came out perfectly! I still haven't mastered the hot fudge sauce the restaurant poured over their dreamy dessert but I still manage to scarf down my version without much of a fuss.

    This recipe is my desert entry for Paula Dean's, Real Women of Philadelphia cooking contest.

      Thanks’ Jules, I was afraid that the cream cheese would make the profiteroles go flat or alter the consistency but surprisingly, they were creamy and very light. We tried them with Snickers Bars instead of chocolate chips. They were very yummy but very rich. Both the cream cheese and the chocolate bar made for a powerful sugar rush!Have a great weekend!
