#KissMeImIrish Irish Cream Profiteroles
Irish cream profiteroles: pate a choux puffs filled with a fluffy Bailey’s Irish cream mousse and topped with dark chocolate ganache.
I’m so excited to be bringing you this recipe today! I think it’s a really fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s day!
Do you remember my last post, about how to make perfect pate a choux? Well, there was a method to my madness there 😉 You’re going to need those big, beautiful, eggy puffs for today’s recipe.
I showed you how after they were baked, they puffed up and hollowed out inside. Well, today, we will be filling them with the lightest, creamiest, booziest Irish Cream whiskey mousse you’ve ever tasted!
- white chocolate melted together with Irish cream liqueur
- egg whites whipped with sugar
- whipped cream
It doesn’t get much simpler than that! Just spoon a little of that fluffy mousse filling into the hollows of your choux puffs.
These are so heavenly, just dusted with a little powdered sugar for garnish! But since I love you guys so much, I decided to go all out for ya.
Warm chocolate sauce, baby!
