Ingredients

• All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
• Granulated sugar: 1 cup
• Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup
• Whole milk: 1 cup
• Large egg: 2
• Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
• Heavy whipping cream: 1 cup
• Confectioners' sugar: 2 tbsp
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries): 1 cup
• Dark chocolate chips: 1 cup

Materials

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Piping bag
• Baking sheet
• Pastry brush

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the flour and whisk until smooth.
4. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
5. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small, round shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the profiteroles are puffed and golden brown.
7. Allow the profiteroles to cool completely on a wire rack.
8. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, and whip until combined.
9. Split the profiteroles in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Fill with a dollop of whipped cream and top with fresh berries.
10. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth. Drizzle over the profiteroles and serve immediately.
