  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 7 ounce fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao if marked), finely chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Chill a small metal baking pan in freezer. Form 18 ice cream balls with scoop and freeze in chilled pan at least 1 hour (this will make serving faster).
2

Instruction 2

Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Butter a large baking sheet.
3

Instruction 3

Bring butter, water, and salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until butter is melted. Reduce heat to medium, then add flour all at once and cook, beating with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from side of pan and forms a ball, about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
4

Instruction 4

Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition.
5

Instruction 5

Transfer warm mixture to pastry bag and pipe 18 mounds (about 1 1/4 inches wide and 1 inch high) 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
6

Instruction 6

Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes total. Prick each profiterole once with a skewer, then return to oven to dry, propping oven door slightly ajar, 3 minutes. Cool on sheet on a rack.
7

Instruction 7

Heat sugar in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt, then stop stirring and cook, swirling pan occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is dark amber.
8

Instruction 8

Remove from heat, then add cream and a pinch of salt (mixture will bubble and steam). Return to heat and cook, stirring, until caramel has dissolved.
9

Instruction 9

Remove from heat and add chocolate, whisking until melted, then whisk in vanilla and Cognac (if using). Keep warm, covered.
