1
Prepare the Dough
In a saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
2
Add Eggs
Let the mixture cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy.
3
Pipe and Bake
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe small mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

4
Fill the Choux
Once cooled, carefully cut the tops off the profiteroles and fill them with vanilla ice cream using a spoon or piping bag.
5
Add Toppings
Drizzle caramel and chocolate sauce over the filled profiteroles and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
