CHEF'S NOTES
A traditional recipe, as presented by Senhor Dantas, owner of the Restaurant Regional in Sintra, Portugal
French King Henri IV had, among his favorites, a mistress by the name of Profiterole. To please her, he invented an airy pastry filled with whipped cream and drizzled with hot chocolate sauce. These days, the pastry is often filled with vanilla ice cream and frozen, though this is not the authentic version.
