Bring the milk and butter to a boil, add the flour and knead until completely incorporated.
Let it cool down, then leave to chill.
Add the eggs, two at a time, until the dough has a pipeable consistency.
Pipe out the choux and put in the oven at 250°C, turn off the heat and bake them for approximately 30 to 35 minutes.

Chocolate filling
Combine the water (1) and the sugar to make a syrup and heat to 105 °C. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate and cocoa powder.
Stir until smooth, then dilute with the water (2) to obtain a silky texture. Leave to cool.
Stir the cream cheese, then whisk in the chocolate sauce and whip.
3
Caramel sauce
Heat the sugar and vinegar to 195°C.
Add the water and the cream and heat once more to 107°C.
Remove from the heat and add the butter. Smoothen with a hand blender.
4
Caramel Tuile
Mix all the ingredients to obtain a homogeneous dough. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge.
Cut the dough into small chunks, then flatten these on a non-stick baking sheet or onto a Silpat® mat.
Bake in the oven at 150°C, slow fan setting, and leave to cook until golden (approximately 9 minutes).
Before they cool, cut out small circles and curl using a tuile sheet.
5
Assembly
Flip the choux upside down and cut a 1 cm circle out of the base.
Dip each choux top down into the tempered chocolate to 1/3 of its depth. Let it harden on silicone release paper.
Pipe in a little of the chocolate filling. Use a teaspoon handle, spread the filling around the inside walls of the choux.
Insert the caramel sauce with a second piping bag, then spread a swirl of the filling on top.
Decorate with the caramel tuile.
