Ingredients

1/2 cup	water
1/4 cup	unsalted butter
1 tablespoon	granulated sugar

1/2 cup	all-purpose flour
2	large eggs
1 cup	heavy cream
2 tablespoons	powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon	vanilla extract
1/2 cup	semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. 3 Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball.
4. 4 Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to dry out the dough.
5. 5 Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
6. 6 Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
7. 7 Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
8. 8 Pipe small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. 9 Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
10. 10 For the filling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
11. 11 Cut the tops off the cooled profiteroles and fill them with whipped cream.
12. 12 For the chocolate sauce, heat the cream until just simmering, then pour over chocolate chips.
13. 13 Stir until smooth and let cool slightly before drizzling over the filled profiteroles.
