Bring water and butter to a boil over medium heat.

Add flour and stir until it forms a ball.

Transfer the dough to a bowl to avoid heat from the pan when adding eggs.

Beat in the eggs one at a time using a wooden spoon.

Fill a pastry bag with the dough and pipe onto a lined baking sheet.

Use a wet finger to smooth down the peaks.

Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (about 428°F) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

While the puffs are baking, beat the heavy cream with a splash of vanilla extract and sugar to taste.

Melt chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

Once the puffs are golden brown and hollow, allow them to cool and make a hole in the bottom.

Fill the puffs with whipped cream until they slightly bounce back.

Dip the filled puffs in the melted chocolate and refrigerate to solidify.
