  • 2g vanilla extract

  • 150g KITKAT® Sauce

Preparation

  • 1
    <strong>For the Choux</strong>: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  • 2
    Prepare the Mixture by combining the water and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer until the butter has fully melted.
  • 3
    Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • 4
    Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a kitchen mixer. Beat for 2 minutes to cool it down. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • 5
    Spoon the dough into a piping bag. Pipe out lines approximately 10 cm long onto the prepared baking tray.
  • 6
    Bake the Éclairs: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue baking for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the éclairs are golden brown.
  • 7
    <strong>For the Chantilly Cream</strong>: In a mixing bowl, using a balloon whisk, ¾, whisk the cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag.
  • 8
    Slice the Éclair: Carefully slice each éclair in half lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
