How to Make Easy Chocolate Eclair Ring Shaped Dessert Cake
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle (approximately 18x24 inches).
- Using a 10-inch round cake pan or a bowl as a guide, cut out a circle from the center of the pastry rectangle. This will form the ring shape.
- Transfer the pastry ring to the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the edges to create a slight rim.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- While the pastry bakes, prepare the chocolate pastry cream. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, and flour until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, melt the chopped chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Slowly whisk the hot milk mixture into the melted chocolate until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly, then fold in the whipped heavy cream until combined.
- Once the pastry ring has cooled slightly, transfer it to a serving plate.
- Fill the center of the pastry ring generously with the chocolate pastry cream.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
