Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thaw the 12 frozen profiteroles at room temperature for 10 minutes, or until they are soft to the touch but still hold their shape.

  2. Step 2

    In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and 2 tbsp butter. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the profiteroles on a serving plate. Pour the warm chocolate sauce over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the 1/4 cup chopped nuts over the sauced profiteroles. Serve immediately while the sauce is warm and the profiteroles are soft.
