Carefully cut each choux puff in half horizontally using a sharp knife. Be careful not to crush the pastry.

Heat the heavy cream over low heat until simmering. Remove from heat, add the chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute then stir until smooth and shiny.

Generously pour the warm chocolate sauce over the profiteroles. Use a brush to spread evenly if needed.

Immediately sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts, dust lightly with cocoa powder, then finish with a thin layer of icing sugar.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between hot and cold, and the crispy texture of the choux.
- For a shinier sauce, add a small knob of butter at the end of mixing, off the heat.
