Profiteroles:
Tyler Florence's Profiteroles

Instead of ice cream, I made a vanilla creme filling similar to an eclair:

• 1 (5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 1/2 cups cold milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prepare the vanilla pudding using it's directions.  Meanwhile beat the cream until soft peaks form.  Add the sugar and vanilla.  Fold the mixtures into one another and chill until serving time :)


Hot Chocolate on a stick:


1/2 cup heavy cream
One 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 T vanilla

Heat the cream and sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat until it starts steaming, stirring periodically. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes, then put back on medium-low heat and stir with a whisk until chocolate is completely melted and shiny. I then added vanilla. Pour chocolate into prepared pan and spread chocolate as level as you possibly can. Let sit overnight (12 hours or so).
