Ingredients
  

For the Eclair Pastry

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Cut into pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs At room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Raspberry Filling

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Whipped until soft peaks

For the Topping

  • Fresh raspberries For decoration
  • Powdered sugar For dusting

Instructions
 

Make the Eclair Pastry

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once boiling, add flour and salt all at once. Stir quickly until the mixture forms a ball.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Transfer the dough into a piping bag. Pipe 4-inch long lines onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool completely.

Prepare the Raspberry Filling

  • In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens.
  • Let the raspberry mixture cool. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled raspberry mixture.

Assemble the Eclairs

  • Cut each cooled eclair in half. Fill the bottom half with raspberry filling. Place the top half back on.

Add the Topping

  • Top each eclair with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

Keep your raspberry eclairs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 2-3 days. If you need to store them longer, it’s better to freeze the eclair shells separately from the filling and assemble them when ready to serve.
