Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 stick Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Remove from heat and add the gluten-free all-purpose flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer it to a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and shiny.

Step 5

Spoon or pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming mounds roughly 2 inches apart using a pastry bag or a tablespoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden and firm.

Step 7

Remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the puffs cool, prepare the chocolate whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Step 9

Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

To fill the puffs, use a serrated knife to cut them in half horizontally.

Step 11

Spoon or pipe the chocolate whipped cream into the bottom half of each puff and top with the upper half.

Step 12

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
