Gluten Free Fresh Cream Chocolate Eclairs

Fresh Cream Chocolate Eclairs

Makes 4-6

Choux Pastry Ingredients:
50g butter
125ml Water
65g GF flour
2 medium eggs

Filling & Topping
GF melted chocolate
Fresh whipped cream

  • Preheat the oven to 220c
  • Place the butter and the water in a saucepan. Heat until the butter melts, then bring to the boil.
  • Remove from the heat and add the GF flour
  • Return to the heat and stir until the mixture forms a ball
  • Remove from the heat again and allow the mixture to cool slightly
  • Add the beaten eggs, stirring well after each addition
  • The mixture needs to be a stiff dropping consistency. You might not need to add all of the egg
  • Spoon or pipe out onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper
  • Bake in a preheated over for 20 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and with a sharp knife, make a slit down one edge of each eclair
  • Return to the oven for another 5 minutes (this will just help to dry out the mixture inside)
  • Remove and allow to cool
  • Fill each eclair with fresh whipped cream and spread on some GF melted chocolate
  • Keep refrigerated until eating!
