Chocolate Carolinas with Cream and Chocolate Sauce

In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, salt, and baking powder to a boil over high heat

Remove from the heat, add the flour, and stir rapidly with a wooden spoon until smooth

Return to the heat, stirring constantly for 30 seconds or until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan

Transfer to a large mixing bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to obtain a smooth batter

Add the chopped nuts

In a small baking dish, shape the dough into 1-1/2 tablespoon-sized portions

Bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for 45 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch

Remove from the oven and let cool completely

Cut the Carolinas in half horizontally, reheat with whipped cream, and reserve

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with the milk, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until smooth

Assemble the dish by placing the Carolinas on individual serving plates, spooning the warm chocolate sauce over the top, and serve.
