This interesting, but not too complicated, recipe of mine is a perfect way to sweeten your day while still keeping your healthy eating resolutions intact.

Servings: 30 Difficulty: Medium
Cooking time: 40 minutes Preparation time: 30 minutes Total time: 70 minutes
Ingredients
Eclairs:
94 grams flour
178 ml water, boiling
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
90 grams unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs, room temperature
Filling:
380 ml heavy cream
1 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp coconut sugar
1/3 tsp potato starch
Ganache:
100 grams sugar free milk chocolate, chopped
5 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
Eclairs:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 215 °C. Measure all the ingredients and set them aside before starting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a sauce pan, mix together water, butter, coconut sugar, and salt to boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir in flour.
Step 3: Return to the heat and mix for 1-2 minutes until the dough is smooth and forms a ball. Place the dough in a stand mixer and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Beat in eggs, one at a time, with the mixture becoming smooth and glossy in between additions.
Step 5: Spoon dough into a pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut out.
Step 6: Pipe into 3-centimetre, by 4-centimetre strips.

Step 7: Bake at 215 °C for 5 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 180 °C, continuing to bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven, and let the shells rest for 10 minutes before removing them.

The filling:
Step 1: In a food blender, combine the coconut sugar with potato starch until you get a powder.
Step 2: Put all the left-over ingredients, as well as the powder, in a stand mixer and whip on medium speed until light and fluffy. Do not over mix.
Step 3: Pour into a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative design, or into a plastic bag with the corner cut out to make piping easier!
The chocolate ganache:
Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate and heavy cream for 30 seconds. Stir together until the chocolate is mixed and melted completely. Repeat in 15-second intervals if necessary.
The assembly:
Step 1: Gently dig the top of the pipping bag into the base of an eclair and pipe the filling until you feel that the whole shell is full of it.
Step 2: Dip the top of the eclair into the chocolate ganache and let it rest chocolate side up.
Useful tips
- First, try to pipe out the eclair form on a cutting board or a plate to get the hang of it.
- If you don't have coconut sugar, you can use stevia, erythritol, or just simple table sugar. (Keep in mind that the nutritional information may differ.)
- You can make the dough and keep it in a cold place for up to 2 days.
