Howard's Profiteroles

Join Howard Middleton (GBBO, series 4) live from Sheffield, England who will teach you the skills to make his showstopping treat - the Profiterole Stack! Crispy, creamy, chocolatey profiteroles return to our online classes! Filled with a delicious whipped cream and drenched in decadently dark chocolate ganache, it's the perfect dessert - totally indulgent but not too sweet. A subtle drizzle of white chocolate completes your choux creation. 

In this class you'll make the choux pastry balls, whipped cream filling, chocolate ganache and Howard will show you how to stack it all successfully. We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Howard's time on TV, before we ask you to put on our aprons & bake along as you watch Howard demonstrate all the skills required to make this lovely treat. Our class will take around 1 hour and 45 minutes as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Howard.
