Fabrication:
- To prepare the dough, place water, butter, sugar and salt in a pot. When the mixture starts to boil, add the flour and cook, stirring, until the dough becomes lumpy.
- Remove the dough from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then add the eggs into the dough one by one and mix each one well into the dough. Your dough should have a smooth consistency.
- Fill the dough into a squeeze bag or form small balls with the help of a spoon and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Take your cooked profiteroles out of the oven and wait for them to cool completely.
- For the cream, heat the milk in a saucepan. In another bowl, whisk sugar, flour and egg yolks thoroughly. Then add the hot milk to the mixture little by little and continue whisking.
- Transfer the mixture back to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. When it starts to boil, add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Remove the thickened cream from the stove and leave it aside to cool. Then add whipped cream and mix well. Cool the cream in the refrigerator.
- For the chocolate sauce, break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Heat the milk in a saucepan and heat until it reaches boiling point. Then pour the hot milk over the chocolate. After waiting a few minutes, add the butter and stir to melt the chocolate. Leave the sauce aside to cool.
- Carefully cut your cooled profiteroles or make a slit on them with a knife. Fill the prepared cream into a squeeze bag and fill it into the profiteroles.
