Step 1
For The ProfiterolesSift the flour and set aside. Place the milk, water, butter, salt and sugar in a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and add the flour stirring vigorously. Place back on the heat for 1 minute and stir until it begins to move away from the sides.
Step 2
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then one at a time, combine the eggs with the flour mixture. Pre-heat the oven to 175°. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe. Dab the piped profiteroles with water to neaten. Allow to dry out for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until a light golden brown. Remove from oven and pierce with a small spoon. Allow to dry out on a cooling rack.
Step 4
For The Chocolate CreamMelt 30g of chocolate and set aside. Measure out the cream and add the sugar, add in the chocolate and carefully whisk until it takes shape. Be careful not to over-whisk as it will split.
