Pairing crème brûlée with chocolate-drizzled profiteroles provided a classic and satisfying French dessert finish at Greenglass.

When deciding how to wrap up a visit to Greenglass in Brisbane, choosing between two classic French desserts led directly to a double order. I chose the crème brûlée alongside a bowl of profiteroles, creating a sweet finish built entirely around traditional French pastry craft.
Bringing both dishes to the table highlighted two distinct approaches to dessert. On one side stood a baked crème brûlée, and on the other sat light choux pastry enveloped in chocolate sauce, served with fresh cream and a dedicated side of slivered almonds.

Beside the profiteroles, the crème brûlée added a contrasting baked custard element to the table. Where the profiteroles relied on airiness, cream, and rich chocolate, the crème brûlée brought a smooth, grounded custard format to the sweet lineup.

Choux Pastry, Chocolate and Almond Crunch
The profiteroles served at Greenglass brought together a classic combination of pastry, chocolate, and cream. The choux pastry arrived coated in a smooth, dark chocolate sauce and paired with fresh cream that softened the intensity of the chocolate.
What stood out in the presentation was the dedicated side of slivered almonds. Rather than scattering the almonds over the cream or sauce where they might lose their crispness, keeping them separate allowed for an adjustable crunch with every spoonful.
