To make the filling: Whip cream until soft peaks form; add sugar and whip again. Use a piping bag to fill the eclairs with cream from one side of the eclair, or split open and pipe cream down the middle.
Steps to make Homemade Eclairs:
- First prepare the eclair shells. In a medium saucepan over medium heat add water, butter, sugar and salt, until the butter melts completely.
- Once it starts to boil add all flour at once. Using a spatula stir and combine well. It will form a dough. Combine together until it pulls out together into a ball, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the dough into a mixing bowl and allow it to cool for about 5 mins.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, begin whisking in eggs one by one at a time. After adding the last egg keep beating until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Pipe onto the baking sheets 4-6 inch long. Bake the eclair shells at pregeated oven at 180-200 degrees for 15-20 mins.
- For filling make a thick custard. Boil milk and add solution of 1/2 cup milk+5 tbsp custard powder to it then add coffee (if you want). Cool completely. Once cooled, add softened butter and beat well with the egg beater. Now fill the custard into eclairs with the piping nozzle (you can fill your favourite ice-cream or whipped cream into eclairs)
- For garnishing melt chocolate and cream. Mix well. Dip one side of eclairs in the chocolate mixture and set aside. Serve and enjoy!
Use a paring knife to cut an X in either end of each eclair. Pipe a portion of the whipped cream into one end of each eclair until it starts to ooze out the other side. Dip the top halves in melted chocolate-butter mixture. Chocolate eclairs are delicious on their own, but I love adding a little crunch by topping mine with chopped hazelnuts. The best part about this easy chocolate eclair recipe is that you don't have to wait until your next trip to Paris to enjoy a tantalizing eclair!
