Tips

When looking to substitute ingredients in a recipe, consider the flavor profiles and textures you want to achieve. If a recipe calls for matcha powder but you don't have any on hand, try using green tea leaves or even spirulina powder for a similar earthy taste. For the chocolate cup, you can substitute with a cookie cup, such as shortbread or graham cracker, to add a different crunch. If you don't have dulce de leche, a caramel or chocolate ganache can provide a similarly indulgent filling for the profiteroles. Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different ingredients to achieve your desired taste and presentation.
