Ingredients

For the pastry:

1 cup water
½ cup butter
1 cup flour
4 eggs

For the whipped cream:

2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup Nutella

For the chocolate drizzle:

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup whipping cream

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Combine water and butter in medium saucepan; cook to boiling, stirring until butter melts. Add flour all at once; stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture leaves the side of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating with a spoon after each addition until smooth. Drop dough by spoonfuls the size of a walnut, 3 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
While the puffs are cooling, whip the cream using a stand mixer or hand mixer. When the cream forms stiff peaks beat in the powdered sugar until combined. Add the Nutella and beat until light and fluffy.
Cut cooled puffs in half horizontally and fill with nutella whipped cream.
For the chocolate drizzle, add the chocolate chips and whipped cream to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 minutes. Stir and then microwave for another 20 seconds. Stir until well combined.
Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the filled cream puffs. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. Makes 18-20 cream puffs.
