Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan, combine water and butter; bring to a boil. Once butter melts, remove from heat and stir in flour and salt.

Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for expansion.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, avoiding opening the oven during baking. Once done, turn off the oven and crack the door to cool slowly.

In a large bowl, beat together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Once the puffs are completely cooled, create a hole in each and fill them with the whipped cream.

Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel sauce or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
