Pour the dough into a piping bag with perforated spout (approx. 1 cm Ø).

    Spray small heaps (approx. 2.5 cm Ø and 1.5 cm high) onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Keep a distance of approx. 5 cm. Whisk 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon water. Brush profiterols with it. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 225 °C/ convection oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 4) for 6 minutes. Turn down the oven temperature (electric oven: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3). Bake profiterols for about 6 minutes. Make small incisions with scissors to let the steam out. Allow the prifiterols to rest for about 5 minutes in an open oven that is switched off, then let them cool down. For the sauce, roughly chop the chocolate. Put it in a bowl together with the coffee and melt it in a warm water bath, stirring.
