Coffee Profiteroles // Recipe

It was pouring insanely when I was baking these. We were going to have a family gathering that afternoon and my mom requested for some sweets. I was on the verge of going crazy, thinking what to bake to suit my family's tastes. I can't please everyone, can I? I was flipping through my vintage British cookbook (which I discovered lying around that very morning) when I recalled how much all of them loved coffee, and so that sparked the idea of coffee cream in pâte à choux, something different from the usual crème patissière.

I used my previous choux puff recipe and put a spin on the filling, which was quite simple to figure out with the help of the www, and lots of tasting while cooking.

Coffee granules are such beautiful little things. 

This is dad and mom's daily dose of caffeine - dark, intense and slightly sweet. I rather fancy it despite not being a coffee drinker.

We lighted some candles and place them around our house to chase away the gloomy atmosphere. And it was a great afternoon. Cold, breezy, lots of black pepper crabs (from scratch, including their slaughtering!) and home-made beehoon and fishcakes and sushi..... oh yes.
