How To Make A Profiterole Tower
A simple profiterole tower with Terry's Chocolate Orange sauce and edible gold glitter. This is the perfect showstopper dessert!
Ingredients
- 20 profiteroles ready-made
- 2 Terry's Chocolate Oranges melted
- edible gold glitter optional
Instructions
- Remove the profiteroles from the packaging and allow to defrost at room temperature for about an hour.
- Once defrosted prepare the chocolate orange sauce by adding the chocolate orange segments to a heatproof bowl.
- Place the bowl containing the chocolate orange over a bowl of simmering water and heat very gently until the chocolate has melted.
- Dip the profiteroles in the chocolate sauce one at a time and arrange the first layer in a circle of 9 profiteroles.
- Put three more dipped profiteroles into the middle of the circle. This is the base of your tower.
- Repeat the process by dipping the profiteroles one at a time in the chocolate and build the tower up in layers until it's a cone shape with a single profiterole perching on top. For a visual watch the video.
- When the profiterole tower is complete, drizzle over the remaining chocolate orange sauce.
- Add a sprinkling of gold edible glitter for extra wow factor.
- Serve immediately while the chocolate is still warm and melted.

Notes
- Don't put the Terry's Chocolate Orange in the microwave as it has a tendency to seize. Use the double-boiler method instead.
- This dessert is best eaten straight away while the chocolate is still warm and melted.
- You can use dark chocolate oranges instead of the regular ones if you prefer.
- Keep any leftovers refrigerated and consume within 48 hours.
