I found this french-inspired recipe on the ever reliable and resilient Good Housekeeping site.  To save 365 calories and 29 grams of fat per serving, (yowsa!) they cut the butter in the puffs by 2 tablespoons, made 10 puffs instead of 8, and used light ice cream and only a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 cup(s) water
• 6 tablespoon(s) butter or margarine
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 4 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup(s) half-and-half or light cream
• 1 tablespoon(s) sugar
• 1 quart(s) light vanilla ice cream
