Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and sugar over medium heat until boiling.

Add plain flour to the boiling mixture and stir vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

Pipe small mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown, avoiding opening the oven door during baking.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

In a mixing bowl, whip double cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form.

Cut the tops off the cooled profiteroles and fill them with whipped cream and a generous spoonful of Nutella.

Replace the tops and drizzle melted chocolate over the filled profiteroles.
