Two types of eclairs that are very delicious and compliment the taste of each other, perfect for tea time or dessert!

Cream Filling:

1 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 tsp confectioners sugar, sifted
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Whip all ingredients in a bowl until stiff peaks form, set aside for later.

Chocolate topping:

4 oz. semisweet chocolate
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp butter

Place Chocolate and water in a glass or ceramic bowl that is resting on top of a saucepan filled with water; do not let the water touch the bowl. Stir until melted, add the butter and stir until the butter has melted.

Strawberry sauce:

7 oz. strawberry
2 Tbsp. confectioners sugar

Blend in a food processor until well mixed and pureed.

Choux pastry:
9 Tbsp all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
1/4 cup butter, diced
2/3 cup water
2 eggs. beaten

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F/ 200 degrees C. Grease a large baking sheet.
Sift the flour and salt together into a paper plate or bowl. Heat the butter and water in a saucepan until the butter melts. Bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and immediately pour in the flour. Beat with a wooden spoon until incorporated into the liquid. Return the pan to low heat, the beat with the spoon again until the mixture leaves the sides and forms a ball of dough in the center. Set aside to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, a little at a time, beating after each addition until it forms a smooth paste that holds its shape. Spoon into a pastry bag cut 1 inch at the tip, then pipe 4 inches of the dough until all the dough is used up; use a knife to cut the pastry from the bag.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is risen and golden brown, take out of the oven and make a lengthwise slit, return to the oven for additional 5 minutes. Cool on a rack.
Pipe the cream filling into each eclair, dip half the eclair tops into the chocolate and pour the strawberry sauce on the other half. Serve immediately and enjoy <3

Tip: they can be kept in the fridge for up to 24 hours without the strawberry sauce
