To make the choux pastry:

  • Add flour all at once and mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball is formed.
  • Allow mixture to cool for a few minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. The mixture will be thick.

  • Bake 25 minutes or until light golden in color. Turn off the oven and let sit for another 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool.
  • Pierce the side of each profiterole to allow the steam to escape.

To make the whipped cream:

To make the chocolate ganache:

  • Heat heavy cream in a small sauce pan.  Add chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth.
