Start with the lemon filling by combining the sugar, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small pot, whisking with a whisk over medium heat.
Add the butter to the pot and continue whisking for 4-5 minutes until it is very hot but not boiling.
Transfer the lemon custard to a bowl and beat the whipping cream in another bowl with an electric mixer. Mix the custard and the cream, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For the profiteroles, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place a pot on the heat and combine the water, milk, butter, and salt; mix until it starts to boil. Remove from the heat, add the flour, and mix quickly. Transfer the dough to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs to the dough and beat quickly; you will end up with a shiny, smooth dough.
Using a piping bag, make the profiteroles on the baking sheets and bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
To fill the profiteroles, cut them in half, remove some of the filling, and fill them with the lemon cream.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler and use a spoon to decorate the profiteroles with it.
Refrigerate the profiteroles until the chocolate is hard (at least 15 minutes).
