If you enjoyed last month’s Matcha Tiramisu, with a matcha inspired twist, then you will love this take on a classic French favourite, Profiteroles. We’ll be adding a delicious matcha and rum custard filling to a traditional Profiterole. Today’s recipe is from Suzane from @mybasket - a food lover from San Francisco who cooks and bakes many beautiful and delicious recipes and shares them on herinstagram.

These Matcha Rum Profiteroles are both luscious and decadent with the addition of rum. The super light choux pastry encases a semi-sweet, moist and smooth filling, flavored with matcha green tea and rum. The flavors go so well together, creating delicious treats to enjoy yourself and share with your loved ones.
