Instructions

7 Steps

  1. Bring water and butter to a boil. Add all the flour at once and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the pan.

  2. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

  3. Pipe small balls onto a lined tray using a piping bag.

  4. Bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden. Turn off oven and rest inside for 10 minutes.

  5. Once completely cool, fill each puff with whipped cream.

  6. Make sauce: heat cream and pour over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth.

  7. Pile filled profiteroles and pour warm chocolate sauce over them before serving.

Hazel's Note

Never open the oven mid-bake — the choux will collapse. Ensure whipped cream is very stiff before filling to prevent sogginess.
