Profiteroles
Now, if you're looking for something a little richer, go for a plate of profiteroles. What are profiteroles, you ask? Well, not only are they
great seasonal pastries to serve during the holiday season, you can say that it's the richer and heavier version of an éclair. Or of a cream puff too, for that matter! The flaky pastry, filled with custard cream—or, at times, ice cream—drizzled with chocolate ganache, is the perfect complement to the lighter bubbly beverage. Some
wine-loving Parisians might even pair this stomach-stuffing dessert with red wine too! But it's the holidays, so champagne is the only appropriate choice!
