METHOD

Preparation

Choux: 

  1. Place water, milk, butter and sugar in a saucepan, let the butter melt and bring to the boil.
  2. Sieve the flour into the pan and beat with a wooden spoon until combined – it should come away from the sides of the pan as one piece of dough.
  3. Transfer the dough to a stand-up mixer bowl and let cool for 5-10min.
  4. Gradually incorporate beaten eggs until dropping consistency (paddle attachment).
  5. Pipe 10cm long logs with a 15mm plain tube nozzle onto a tray with silpat mat. 
  6. Egg wash lightly. 
  7. Bake at 190°C, for 15 min. Reduce the oven temperature to 175°C and bake for another 10 min. Test one and bake for additional time, if not dried out. 

Chantilly Cream: 

  1. Pour whipping cream into round-sided bowl.
  2. Using a balloon whisk, ¾ whisk the cream.
  3. Rain in the sugar whilst whipping.
  4. Finish by adding the vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk to the desired consistency.
  6. Refrigerate and use as required.

Assembly: 

  1. Fill the base with the prepared Chantilly cream.
  2. Melt milk chocolate. Dip the éclair halfway in it.
  3. Sprinkle with KITKAT® Mix in on top of chocolate.
  4. Let set.
  5. Voilà, your finished chocolate éclair recipe with KITKAT® mix-in.
