125 g water
125 g milk
100 g butter
½ tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
150 g wheat flour
4 eggs
Bring the water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil in a thick-bottomed pan. Sift the flour and add into the pan mixing intensely throughout with a wooden spatula.

Cookie disk
200 g butter (room temperature)
250 g sugar
250 g wheat flour
Mix the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth (do not knead). Roll the mixture into approx. 2-mm sheets between two sheets of baking paper. Stamp out cookie disks using a ring-shaped cookie cutter with a diameter of approx. 3 cm (do not remove the cookies at this point). Bake the stamped sheets in one piece.
Baking
Spread the frozen profiteroles evenly onto a baking tray covered with baking paper or a silicone mat (leave enough space as the profiteroles will puff up in the oven). Place a single stamped out and cooled cookie disk on top of each profiterole. Bake in a convection oven at 170 °C for approximately 17–18 minutes (do not open the oven in between to keep the profiteroles from collapsing. Cool well before filling.

200 g cream
175 g Bonne Premium Rose Hip Purée
1.5 g citric acid
150 g white chocolate
12 g Bonne Instant Gel Powder
75 g glazing (such as Diamant or Valrhona neutral glaze)
Boil up the cream, rose hip purée, citric acid, and glazing in a pan. Add the instant gel powder and blend smooth. Pour the still hot liquid on top of the white chocolate and blend with a hand-held blender. Place cling film on the surface of the mixture to prevent skin from forming on top. Cool down and store in the refrigerator.
Rose hip gelée
200 g Bonne Premium Rose Hip Purée
100 g glazing (such as Diamant or Valrhona neutral glaze)
15 g honey
2 tbsp. lemon juice

Combine the ingredients in a tall and narrow bowl. Blend with a hand-held blender until smooth. Place into a piping bag and the mixture is ready for use.
Presentation
Cut the profiteroles in two with a sharp knife. Whip the rose hip and white chocolate cream into a fluffy mixture by hand or using a food processor (whisk). Use a star-shaped piping tip to cover the bottom half of the profiterole (leave a small space in the middle for the gel). Fill the space with the rose hip gelée. Cover with the top and decorate with powdered sugar immediately before serving.
