Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- FILLING:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
- GLAZE:
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat until smooth.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil; grease foil. Drop batter into six mounds onto foil. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30 minutes longer. Remove puffs to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each for steam to escape.
- In a bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and cocoa, beating until almost stiff. Split puffs and remove soft dough. Add filling; replace tops. Melt chocolate and butter; stir in sugar and water. Drizzle over puffs. Chill.
