1
Prepare the Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
2
Add the Flour
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3
Incorporate the Eggs
Allow the dough to cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
4
Pipe the Choux
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each mound.
5
Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

6
Fill the Choux
Once the choux puffs have cooled, carefully slice them in half. Fill each half with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

7
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until smooth and fully melted.
8
Serve
Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the filled profiteroles before serving.
