Bossche bol

A Bossche bol (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌbɔsə ˈbɔl], Dutch for 'Ball from Den Bosch') – or just called chocoladebol ('chocolate ball') in its city of origin – is a pastry from the Dutch city of 's‑Hertogenbosch.^[1] It is effectively a large profiterole (cream puff), about 12 cm (5 in.) in diameter, filled with whipped cream and coated entirely or almost entirely with (usually dark) chocolate fondant icing.

^ A few Dutch cities have a somewhat lengthy official name, and an alternative, shorter, colloquial name. With Den Bosch, the short form also spawned the adjective 'Bossche', meaning: from Den Bosch.
