Cómo preparar Chocolate Cheese Eclairs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Remove from heat and immediately add the dry flour mixture all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth ball of dough forms.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and continue stirring for 1 minute, ensuring the dough is completely smooth and pulling away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and let the dough cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. The dough should be thick but pourable.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop spoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a spatula, shape each mound into a finger-shaped eclair, approximately 4 ½ inches long and 1 ½ inches wide.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eclairs are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, carefully slice off the tops of the eclairs using a serrated knife.
- Gently remove any loose strands of dough from the inside of the eclairs.
- Prepare the chocolate cheese filling (recipe below).
- Fill each eclair generously with the chocolate cheese filling.
- Replace the tops of the eclairs.
- Prepare the cocoa glaze (recipe below).
- Drizzle the cocoa glaze over the eclairs just before serving.
- Refrigerate any leftover eclairs.
- **Chocolate Cheese Filling:**
- Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the cooled melted chocolate.
- In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cheese mixture.
- **Cocoa Glaze:**
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons milk, whisking until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Add more milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
