For the Filling
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

For the Chocolate Sauce
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, heat water and butter until boiling. Remove from heat and add flour, stirring until it forms a dough.

- Spoon or pipe small rounds of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
