Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a tray with parchment.
  • In a saucepan, combine 125ml water with the butter over low heat.

  • Remove from heat, cool slightly, and gradually beat in the eggs until glossy.
  • Spoon 18 mounds of paste onto the tray, spacing them well apart.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until well risen and golden.
  • Pierce a 1cm hole in the base of each bun and cool on a wire rack.
  • Melt white chocolate with 150ml cream over low heat until smooth.
  • Cool the white chocolate sauce for 30 minutes until it whitens.
  • Melt dark chocolate with 100ml cream in the same manner and set aside.
