- 125 g plain flour
- 3 - 4 eggs

Instructions
- Place the water, margarine and salt in a pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the flour, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula. Place the pan over high heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, stirring to incorporate well after each addition.
- Fill pastry into a piping bag attached with a round nozzle. Pipe into golf ballsized shapes, 5cm apart on parchment-lined baking pans. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180ºC for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the puffs to cool and dry out in the oven with the door open.
- Cut choux buns horizontally. Sandwich the strawberry ice cream balls into the choux buns, arrange on a plate and drizzle with chocolate. Decorate with toasted almonds.
