But don\u2019t worry! With just a little bit of patience and practice, you\u2019ll soon be whipping up eclairs like a pro. Just remember to take it one step at a time, and don\u2019t be too hard on yourself if your first batch isn\u2019t perfect. After all, the best things in life take a little bit of effort, and these tasty eclairs are no different! One bite of these bad boys and you\u2019ll be a believer.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be real, store-bought eclairs just don\u2019t hit the same as homemade ones. There\u2019s something about biting into a perfectly baked pastry shell, filled with a creamy and decadent custard that just can\u2019t be replicated. Plus, you can customize them to your heart\u2019s content \u2013 want a chocolate filling instead of classic vanilla? Go for it! However you choose to make your batch, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll absolutely LOVE how they turn out. Let\u2019s get started with all of the ingredients you need to make them!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients-needed\">Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n<p>Here is everything you need to make the soft pastry shell, vanilla custard filling, and chocolate ganache topping! I love a classic vanilla eclair with chocolate topping, but you can customize your batch however you\u2019d like. I have some ideas for you in the tips section below! Note: all measurements can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.<\/p>\n<h4>Shell Dough<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Milk<\/strong>: Adds a rich and creamy flavor to the eclair shells. It also contains proteins and sugars that help create a tender and moist texture. YUM!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>: Used with the milk to create the dough for the eclair shells. It helps to hydrate the flour and also create a smooth consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsalted Butter<\/strong>: Adds a rich and buttery flavor to the shells while also giving them a flaky texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar<\/strong>: Gives the eclair shells a touch of sweetness. Sugar also helps to brown the pastry as it bakes, giving it the perfect golden color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt: <\/strong>Enhances the overall flavor of the eclair shells. Just a pinch is all you need!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>: The main ingredient in the eclair shells, providing structure and stability to the dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>: Act as a binding agent and give the shells its classic texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Filling<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Pudding:<\/strong> For flavor and creaminess. Prepare as directed on the box.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whipped Topping<\/strong>: Gives the filling the perfect light and fluffy texture!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Ganache<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: <\/strong>Since the dough and filling is sweetened, I like using semi sweet chocolate chips for the ganache. You can also use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips if you prefer. It\u2019s fun to switch between things up! Whatever you go for, just be sure to use a high-quality baking chocolate. I always go for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/ghirardelli-60-cacao-bittersweet-chocolate-premium-baking-chips-10oz\/-\/A-13349385#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ghirardelli<\/a> with a high cacao percentage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy Cream<\/strong>: Adjusts the consistency of the ganache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-make-the-best-chocolate-eclairs\">How to Make the Best Chocolate Eclairs<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve broken this recipe up into 3 simple parts. Follow the instructions step by step and you\u2019ll be making eclairs like a pro! You\u2019ll impress your friends and family with your amazing baking skills.<\/p>\n<h4>Shells<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Preheat Oven, Prep Pans:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment and then set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk Mixture:<\/strong> Add the milk, water, butter, sugar and salt to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the edge of the mixture is bubbling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Flour:<\/strong> Remove from the heat and add the flour. Then mix until a thick paste forms. Turn the heat back on to medium and stir for 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix:<\/strong> Remove from the heat and transfer the dough to a bowl. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the dough for 1-2 minutes to bring the temperature down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Eggs: <\/strong>Add the eggs one at a time, being sure to fully mix in each egg before adding the next. The dough should be thick and glossy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill Pastry Bag, Pipe: <\/strong>Fill a pastry bag \u2154 of the way with dough. Either pre-fir the bag with a large round piping tip or snip \u00bd inch off the end of the bag. Then pipe 4 inch lines of dough on the parchment lines baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake: <\/strong>Bake for 10 minutes at 425 Fahrenheit before lowering to 325 and baking for 25-30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and then let cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Filling<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prepare Pudding<\/strong>: Prepare the pudding as directed on the package.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Whipped Topping<\/strong>: Once the pudding has set, fold in the whip topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill Shells: <\/strong>Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a #8-#10 round piping tip. Use the tip to gently poke 2 holes in the bottom off the eclairs and gently squeeze the filling inside, being careful to not overfill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Ganache<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips:<\/strong> Add the chocolate chips to a bowl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat Cream, Combine: <\/strong>Heat the cream for 30-40 seconds in the microwave, until steaming. Then pour over the chocolate and let sit for 3-4 minutes. Stir until smooth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dip Eclairs: <\/strong>Dip the tops of the filled eclairs into the Ganache and let them sit until the Ganache sets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"Top-down view of multiple chocolate dipped eclairs.\" class=\"wp-image-205115\" title=\"Skip the bakery and make your own delicious eclairs at home!

They\u2019ll turn out so good, you won\u2019t want store-bought ever again!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Practice, Practice, Practice! <\/strong>Don\u2019t be afraid to practice! Making eclairs takes some trial and error, but the more you make them, the better they\u2019ll turn out. You\u2019ll be making them like a pro in no time!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Room Temperature Eggs: <\/strong>Use room temperature eggs for the shell dough. Cold eggs can result in a denser texture and affect the rise of the pastry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch Out Filling: <\/strong>Get creative with the filling! While classic vanilla custard is delicious, there are so many other flavors to try, like chocolate, coffee, or even fruity fillings!  <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/lemon-curd\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Lemon curd<\/a>, anyone?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings: <\/strong>Add chopped nuts, a drizzle of <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/white-chocolate-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">white chocolate<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">salted caramel<\/a> on top!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Piping Tip: <\/strong>To get the perfect pastry shell shape, use a piping bag with a large, round tip. It\u2019ll give you control and precision when piping the dough onto the baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chill: <\/strong>Let the filled eclairs chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together for the best eclairs possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout\"><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__content\">\n<h3>How Long Do Eclairs Last?<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking from experience, it\u2019s hard not to eat all of these in one sitting.
