Print Recipe

Rainbow profiteroles are delicate cream-filled choux pastry puffs, coated with colorful glazes or icing to create a vibrant and festive dessert perfect for parties and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Assorted food colorings
  • 1 cup (120 g) white chocolate or glaze icing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.
  5. Transfer dough to a piping bag and pipe small mounds onto the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool completely.
  7. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fill profiteroles with cream using a piping bag.
  8. Melt white chocolate or prepare glaze icing. Divide into bowls and tint each with different food colorings.
  9. Dip the tops of the profiteroles into colored glaze to create a rainbow effect.
  10. Arrange on a platter and chill slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the choux dough is cooked well in the pan before adding eggs for best texture.
  • Profiteroles can be made ahead and filled just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra festive touch.
