Ingredients:
85g Unsalted butter
100g Plain flour
3 Eggs
250ml Double cream
100g Dark chocolate
Water
Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and place a tray of water at the bottom of the oven. Also line a baking tray with greaseproof paper for the profiteroles. For the choux pastry, add the butter and 220ml water into a saucepan and heat until the butter has melted. Then quickly add in the flour and salt. Remove from the heat and stir vigorously until a smooth paste is formed. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes.

2. Beat in the eggs, a little at a time and stir until smooth and glossy and a soft drop consistency, you may not need it all. Using teaspoons spoon a blob of mixture onto your prepared baking tray. Place them in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

3. Remove from the oven and prick the bottom of each one with a skewer, transfer to a wire rack and place upside down with the holes pointing upwards.

4. For the filling, whip the cream in a bowl. When the profiteroles are cold use a piping bag to insert the cream. Melt the chocolate and drizzle on top.
