Yummy Cream Puffs And Chocolate Eclairs – It’s A Pastry Frenzy!

 

Ingredients

PASTRY SHELLS

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) Kerrygold unsalted butter
• 3/8 teaspoon Morton salt
• 1 1/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 4 large eggs

CREAM PUFF FILLING

• 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 1/4 cup granulated Domino sugar, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon McCormick vanilla extract

CHOCOLATE ÉCLAIR FILLING

• pastry cream filling

*See easy substitute in tips, below.

ICING

• 1 cup Toll House chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream

Instructions

Before you begin: note that the pastry recipe will make 12 cream puffs OR 20 to 24 éclairs. The filling recipes (whipped cream, and pastry cream) make enough for 12 pastries each. The icing recipe is a generous amount for icing 2 dozen éclairs. If you simply want to drizzle the éclairs with icing, cut both the chocolate and cream in half.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

Combine the water, butter, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan, heat until the butter has melted, and bring to a rolling boil.
Remove the pan from the heat, and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously.

Return the pan to the burner and cook over medium heat, stirring all the while, until the mixture smooths out and follows the spoon around the pan; this should take less than a minute.
Remove the pan from the heat, and let the mixture cool for 5 to 10 minutes. It’ll still feel hot, but you should be able to hold a finger in it for a few seconds. If you have an instant-read thermometer, the temperature should be below 125°F.

Transfer the mixture to a mixer, and beat in the eggs one at a time; it’ll look curdled at first, but when you add the last egg it should become smooth. Beat for at least 2 minutes after adding the last egg.

Using a generously filled tablespoon cookie scoop, or a level muffin scoop, drop the thick batter onto the prepared baking sheets in 3- to 4-tablespoon mounds. Space the mounds about 3″ apart, to allow for expansion. For éclairs, pipe the batter into 5″ logs about 1/2″ to 3/4″ in diameter.

Bake the pastries for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until pastries are a medium golden brown. Don’t open the oven door while the pastries are baking.

Remove the pastries from the oven. Make a small slit in the top of each, and return them to the oven for 5 minutes, to allow the steam to escape. Place them on a rack to cool. When they’re cool enough to handle, split each in half to make top and bottom pieces; splitting and exposing the centers to air will help keep them from becoming soggy.

To make the cream puff filling: Pour the cream into a mixing bowl, and begin to whip it on high speed (using your mixer’s whisk attachment, if you have one). Sprinkle in the sugar gradually as the cream whips. Whip until stiff, but be careful not to over-whip; cream should still look smooth.

Fill the bottom halves of the puffs with whipped cream, then replace their tops. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, and serve.

To make the éclair filling: Prepare your favorite pastry cream filling; see tips below for our favorite. You’ll need about 3 cups of filling.

Spoon the filling into the éclair shells.

To make the icing, place the chocolate chips or chunks and cream in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup.

Heat over low heat (or in the microwave) until the cream is very hot.

Remove from the heat, and stir until the chocolate melts and the icing is smooth. Spoon over the éclairs, spreading to the edges. Serve immediately.

Decadent Tiramisu Cake

 

Ingredient

• 2 1/2 cups strong black coffee, room temperature
• 1 1/2 tablespoons espresso powder
• 9 tablespoons dark rum
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 6 large egg yolks
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 1 1/2lbs mascarpone cheese (chilled below room temperature)
• 3/4 cup heavy cream, cold
• 14oz hard ladyfingers (about 40-60 depending on size)
• 3 /12 tablespoons cocoa
• 1/4 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate

Directions

Stir together coffee, espresso powder, vanilla extract, and 5 tablespoons rum in a wide bowl or baking dish until espresso dissolves. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the yolks until just combined. Add sugar and salt and whisk together until a pale yellow, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons rum and beat until just combined. Add the mascarpone and continue to beat until no lumps remain.
In another large bowl, beat the cream hard until the cream begins to hold stiff peaks. Using a rubber spatula, fold one third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to lighten. Fold the remaining whipped cream into the mascarpone until there are no more white streaks.
Working one at a time, quickly drop half of the lady fingers into the coffee mixture, roll, then remove and transfer them to a 9″x13″ baking dish. (Don’t submerge the ladyfingers. You want them to take in a little of the coffee mixture, but not drown in it. The coffee should coat the edges but not be soaked in to the middle. Arrange the cookies in a single layer in the baking dish, breaking or trimming the ladyfingers as needed to fit properly.
Spread half the mascarpone over the ladyfingers, and use a rubber spatula to spread the mixture to the edges and corners. Place 2 tablespoons of the cocoa in a fine mesh strainer and dust the cocoa over the mascarpone.
Repeat the dipping and arrangement with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone, and remaining cocoa. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours before serving.
Enjoy
