Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup (54g) butter and 1 cup (240ml) water. Bring to a boil.
3. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat and immediately add all the flour (2/3 cup or 80g) at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
4. Allow the dough to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
5. Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 3-inch long strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each éclair.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the éclairs are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and pierce each éclair with a sharp knife to release steam. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
1. While the éclairs are cooling, heat the heavy whipping cream (1 cup or 230g) in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
2. Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate (1 cup or 230g) in a heatproof bowl. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Allow the white chocolate ganache to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator to firm up slightly, about 30 minutes.
1. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries (1 cup or 150g) with the sugar (1 tsp or 5g) using a fork. Set aside.
1. Once the white chocolate ganache has firmed up, fold the mashed raspberries into the ganache until well combined. Add the vanilla extract (1 tsp or 4g) and stir.
1. Using a sharp knife, make a small slit on one side of each éclair.
2. Fill a piping bag with the raspberry and white chocolate filling. Pipe the filling into each éclair through the slit.
1. Once all éclairs are filled, arrange them on a serving platter.
2. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps in achieving a smooth batter and even mixing.
- When melting the white chocolate, use a double boiler to avoid burning and ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
- To achieve perfectly baked eclairs, avoid opening the oven door during baking as this can cause the pastry to collapse.
- Use a piping bag with a star nozzle to pipe the choux pastry. This gives the eclairs a professional and attractive appearance.
- Cool the eclairs completely before filling them to avoid melting the cream.
- Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks to ensure your filling holds its shape inside the eclairs.
- Gently fold in the raspberries to the whipped cream to retain their shape and avoid a mushy texture.
Congratulations! You've successfully crafted Mini Raspberry and White Chocolate Eclairs. Each bite is a delightful mix of creamy white chocolate and the vibrant flavor of fresh raspberries, encased in a perfectly baked choux pastry. Whether for a special occasion or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth, these eclairs are a delectable indulgence. Enjoy your homemade creation!
