Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a large baking sheet with
baking paper.

 1 Put the water and butter
in a saucepan over medium heat and stir for 3-4 minutes or until the butter
melts and the mixture just comes to the boil.

2 Add the flour and, using a wooden spoon, beat until well
combined. Cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes while stirring until the mixture
forms a ball and begins to come away from the sides. Set aside for 5 minutes to
cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, beating with the wooden spoon until well
combined.

 3 Put teaspoonful’s
of the mixture onto the baking sheet about 3cm apart, or use a piping bag
fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle to pipe it onto the tray.

 4 Bake for 12-15 minutes
or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and use a cocktail stick
to pierce the base of each profiterole to release the steam. Transfer to a wire
rack to cool.

 5 FILLING Whisk the
butter and cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, then whisk in the icing sugar, vanilla
essence and citrus zest. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a thin nozzle, poke
a hole in the profiterole and pipe in the filling. Drizzle the melted chocolate
over the outside
