Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Lightly grease 2 oven trays.
2.Combine water and butter in a medium saucepan. Stir over a low heat to melt butter and bring mixture to boiling point.
3.Sift flour onto a piece of paper towel. Add to the butter mixture all at once. Cook, stirring. 1-2 minutes, until mixture leaves the side of pan and forms a ball around the spoon. Remove from heat.
4.Transfer mixture to a bowl. Spread up the sides of the bowl using a wooden spoon. Allow to cool 5 minutes until comfortable to touch.
5.Add eggs gradually, beating well after each addition, this may be done by hand or with an electric mixer. Beat until mixture is smooth and glossy – you may not need all of the last egg.
6.Drop heaped tablespoons of mixture onto trays, allowing room for spreading. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to moderate, 180°C, then bake a further 15-20 minutes until puffs are golden and firm to touch. Make a small slit in the side of each puff. Return to oven to dry out 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
7.Meanwhile; in a large bowl, beat cream with icing sugar and vanilla. Fold through half almonds. Split profiteroles, removing any uncooked dough. Spoon cream into cavities. Serve with fudge sauce and extra almonds.
To make a hot fudge sauce, Combine 150g chopped dark chocolate, 1 cup cream, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth.
