Ingredients
  

For the Choux Pastry

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Sauce

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

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.
  • Let the dough cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  • Spoon or pipe small rounds of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
  • Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fill each choux pastry with the whipped cream using a piping bag or by slicing them open.
  • Heat heavy cream and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the filled profiteroles.
  • Serve immediately or chill for a cool dessert.
