Exotic Profiteroles.

Last spring, we fell in love with Masterchef, and we're sure you all remember the winner right?! Britney, the Pastry Princess! We'll never forget the day (well the episode) she baked those profiteroles filled with vanilla chantilly and caramel! They looked great!!
What happened next is that we told ourselves : "We need to make profiterolles!" and actually the recipe is not that complicated!
One year later, here we are, finally making profiteroles!! But since it's hot and sunny and since we're soooo creative, we wanted to try something different from the traditional vanilla/coffee/chocolate profiteroles and we came up with these exotic profiteroles pairing french pastry and exotic fruits! They're fresh, very light, and delicious!
