Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil over medium heat. Add the flour and reduce the heat to low. Stirring constantly, cook the mixture for 2 minutes, until it forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the espresso powder and 1 tablespoon of warm water until dissolved. Set aside.
Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the espresso mixture and beat for another minute until fully incorporated.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe 3-inch logs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Coffee Pastry Cream:
In a saucepan, heat the milk until it begins to steam. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk in the hot milk, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and combined. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic onto the surface of the pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
Chocolate Glaze:
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate with the heavy cream, stirring frequently, until smooth and shiny. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Assemble the Eclairs:
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the eclairs in half horizontally. Spoon the cold pastry cream into a piping bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe a generous amount of cream onto the bottom half of each eclair. Replace the top half.
Dip the top of each eclair in the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed eclairs on a wire rack and let them sit until the chocolate has set.
And voila! You’ll have a batch of the most amazing Chocolate Coffee Eclairs ever. Serve them up with a hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoy!
