  • 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).
