Tips
A portion of three choux buns weighs 100 g: count on 251 kcal. It is a dessert for a festive meal, not a daily snack, and that is just fine.
7.78 g of saturated fatty acids per 100 g. They come from the butter in the choux pastry, the custard cream and the chocolate. It is the sum of three rich preparations.
The chocolate sauce is the simplest lever. Served separately rather than poured over, everyone helps themselves to their own measure. It is the most effective adjustment for this dessert.
The choux pastry itself is not the problem. It is made of water, flour, eggs and butter, and it is hollow: it is the filling that weighs. See our profiteroles recipe.
Ice cream version or custard cream version. Both exist on the shelf and do not have the same composition. These values are for the custard cream; the ice cream version is generally sweeter.
