Recipe

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 heat; let stand 5 mins. 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 400ºF for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350ºF; bake 30 minutes longer. Remove puffs to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each for steam to escape. In mixing 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.
