Making Pate a Choux This elegant, show-stopping dessert can seem intimidating to make at home, but it’s actually quite easy! You’ll need just 5 ingredients for the eclair shells – eggs, water, flour, butter and a pinch of salt! Here are a few tips for making pate a choux successfully! When baking the eclair shells, resist the temptation to open your oven door! These shells are very temperature sensitive and can collapse easily with a blast of cool air. Bake the shells until they are a deep golden color; underbaking will also cause them to collapse. I recommend filling the pastries the same day, once they cool. The shells can and will go stale if left out uncovered. Coffee Custard Filling These custard eclairs are filled with an amazing coffee-flavor custard cream. The first step is making a simple custard with a touch of coffee. Once the custard is completely cooled, a bit of butter is added to make it fluffier. This filling is similar to a German buttercream. You can learn more about making the custard and buttercream with my tutorial HERE. Once you have these stunning coffee custard eclairs assembled, keep them refrigerated for up to 3 days until you’re ready to enjoy! Love eclairs? Try these next!
