Indulge in the sweet perfection of these giant salted caramel profiteroles. This recipe will guide you through the process of making this delicious and indulgent dessert that will impress your guests.
To start, make the salted caramel sauce, which can be made ahead of time. Simply melt granulated sugar and salted butter in a pan, then add double cream. Stir until smooth and silky, then add sea salt flakes for that perfect salty caramel flavor. You can pour the sauce into a jug and set it aside to cool.
Next, it's time to make the profiteroles. Sift plain flour and set it aside. In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter in water, then add the flour. Mix until it forms a ball, then beat in the eggs until you get a smooth paste. Divide the paste onto a lined baking tray, forming eight golf ball-sized portions. Bake them in the oven until they puff up perfectly.
Once the profiteroles have cooled, you can assemble the dessert. Cut the profiteroles, leaving them attached on one side. Fill them generously with whipped cream and pour the salted caramel sauce over the top. The result is a heavenly dessert that is both sweet and salty, with the perfect combination of flavors.
