Ingredients

• 120 ml Water
• 60 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 75 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 Large eggs
• 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 60 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Espresso powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 ml Hot espresso or strong coffee
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 20 grams Unsalted butter (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Transfer the choux dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 2-inch (5 cm) lines onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Bake the eclairs for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the eclairs cool inside for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 7

While the eclairs cool, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fluffy. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.

Step 8

Using a skewer or the tip of your piping bag, create a small hole at the bottom of each eclair. Fill each eclair with the mascarpone-coffee mixture.

Step 9

For the glaze, melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts). Stir in the hot espresso or coffee until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Dip the tops of each filled eclair into the chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off. Place the eclairs on a wire rack and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.

Step 11

Dust the tops with cocoa powder for garnish. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
