Ingredients
Cream Puffs Dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs large
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ cup butter
- cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam
Chocolate Drizzle
- Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce for drizzle

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cream Puffs Dough
- Bring butter, salt, sugar, and water to a boil in a heavy-bottom saucepan.
- Remove from heat.
- Using a spoon or whisk, quickly stir in flour.
- Return to heat, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a dough and a film forms on the bottom of the pan, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly or eggs will scramble in batter.
- Then add one egg at a time and whisk after each addition (you can also use a hand or electric mixer).
- Whisk until the mixture is shiny and soft peaks form.
- Line two sheet trays with parchment paper.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag.
- Make small 1-1.5 inch rounds or hearts (as shown in the picture) spaced at least 1 inch apart.
- Gently smooth the top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until profiteroles are puffed.
- Once baked, transfer puffs to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cream Filling
- In the meantime, fold strawberry jam into whipped cream and pipe it into an icing bag with a nozzle tip.
- Make an insertion in each cream puff, and fill about a tbsp cream into each cooled puff.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce on top and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately, or for best results, cool for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
