Incorporate Eggs
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Allow it to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Pipe the Dough
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a piping bag, pipe small mounds of dough (about 1.5 inches wide) onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the Choux
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Fill the Puffs
Once the choux puffs are completely cool, use a small knife to cut a slit in the side of each puff. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream into each puff until filled.

Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Drizzle Over Puffs
Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the filled profiteroles. Allow the chocolate to set slightly before serving.
