Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, (melted)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 pinch salt, (optional)
  • 12 oz whipped cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, (softened)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, (melted)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, (melted)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium-sized pot, place ½ cup unsalted butter and turn heat on medium low until butter is melted.
  • Add in ½ cup water and ½ cup milk. Stir to combine, about 1 minute.
  • Add a pinch of salt.
  • Turn off heat and add a cup of flour, stirring quickly.
  • Add in the eggs, one by one, quickly stirring after each egg (you can also use a hand mixer for this step). The dough should start becoming sticky.
  • Transfer into a pastry bag with piping tip.
  • Place parchment paper on two baking sheets. Pipe out rounds or oval shapes of dough onto the cookie sheet. Leave room between each eclair to puff up in the oven.
  • Transfer to the oven. Keep checking on them a few times through the oven window, as soon as they puff up and get a brownish bottom, take them out (about 20-25 minutes). Cool down.
  • Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and no clumps.
  • Add in ¾ cup powdered sugar, beat until well incorporated.
  • Add in whipped cream and beat for a minute (should not be runny).
  • Transfer the cream to a pastry bag with a tip and fill the eclairs, by slicing each one and pipping the cream in.
  • Melt 3 Tbsp unsalted butter in the microwave then quickly stir in ½ cup chocolate chips.
  • Brush each eclair with chocolate or just dip the tops in.
  • Cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
