Chocolate and Hazelnut Profiterole Christmas Tree
Gill: "So my most treasured possession in the world is a 1970s Christmas tree that my parents bought the first year they were married in 1970, and I still have it. Good condition, slightly wonky now, but I'm modeling my profiterole stack on it, so I've got an excuse if it goes wrong."
Voice-over: "Filled with a chocolate and hazelnut creme patissiere and coated with red and green craquelin, Gill's choux buns will be stacked and secured with caramel in tribute to her beloved Christmas tree."
"I like the look of these. The bake feels good. I was just thinking it may need a little bit more color."
"Overall, I think they look quite neat."
Gill: "So it's filled with a chocolate hazelnut creme patisserie."
"Very hazelnutty."
"The hazelnut comes through quite nicely with the chocolate."
"It's not wildly exciting, but it is really very competent."
"Simple but effective."
