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
  • Confectioner Sugar for dusting

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.
    Heart Pastries
  • 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.
