Profiterole (Cream Puff) 泡芙

A profiterole is a popular choux pastry。 Choux paste is baked into small round puffs that are served cold with a sweet filling and sometimes a topping. A profiterole has a filling of whipped cream or pastry cream; however, cream containing alcohol is occasionally used. The puffs may be left plain or made to resemble swans or decorated with chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar. In the US, a profiterole may also be known as a cream puff, though in the UK a cream puff would be made with puff pastry.
The most common dessert presentations involve ice cream, whipped cream or a pastry cream filling, and are served plain, with chocolate sauce, or with a crisp caramel glaze. They can also be topped with powdered sugar, frosting, or fruit.

泡芙是一種源自意大利的甜食。蓬鬆張孔的奶油麵皮中包裹鮮奶油、巧克力乃至雪糕。
在製作時首先使用水、奶油、麵粉和蛋做包裹的麵包。這個麵包裡含的蛋在烤的過程中形成一個空洞。泡芙裡面包裹的內涵是通過注射或者將麵包頂部撕破後加進去的。使用後面這個方法的話這個被撕破的頂部要被取代。在泡芙的包裹的上面還可以撒上糖、糖凍、果實或者巧克力。
傳說泡芙是凱瑟琳·德·美第奇的廚師發明的，16世紀傳入法國。
