Homemade Eclairs with Peanut Butter Mousse Filling | Sally's Baking

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cacao nibs

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Semi-sweet chocolate is easier to find and less expensive than dark chocolate.

Combine water, milk, butter, a little salt, and a little sugar in a saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stove.

Add 1 cup of flour and stir until it becomes a doughlike consistency.

Transfer the dough to a mixer and add 4 beaten eggs; mix until combined.

Prepare a baking sheet by brushing it with a little water to create a nonstick surface.

Pipe the dough onto the parchment paper using piping tip Ateco 809.

Smooth down the peaks with a moistened finger.

Brush the eclairs with a little egg wash before baking.

Poke a hole in each eclair with a toothpick to fit the piping tip for filling.

Fill the eclairs with homemade peanut butter mousse and top with chocolate ganache.
