Best Chocolate Eclair Recipe

- Опубліковано 28 кві 2024
- This ridiculously delicious chocolate eclair recipe made from airy choux pastry filled with vanilla pastry cream and dipped in chocolate are nearly foolproof to make and will be gone in a flash, éclair actually translates to “flash of lightning”! The airy choux pastry is SUPER EASY to work with and VERY versatile. Not to mention that pastry cream is basically the best thing to come out of France… Ever. I ate all of these and was in heaven. Shhhh our secret!
Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/chocolate-e...
If you want to make cream puffs just pipe some dots like I did for the second batch. You can fill them with pastry cream, whipped cream or anything you like!
HOW LONG DO CHOCOLATE ECLAIRS LAST?
Eclairs are best when served within a few hours of assembly. If you have to they are still delicious the next day. Make sure to refrigerate them in a sealed or covered container.
You can make the shells and pastry cream a few days in advance and keep them in a sealed container at room temperature then fill and dip them before serving.
The pate a choux shells can be frozen and kept for 2 months before being thawed and filled.

Yes, but if I buy your cookbook, I won't be able to see those funny little mistakes 02:09
U seriously didn't even put the ingredient list on the website it's the only thing people would ever go to the site for and it's missing.
Just a tip.. fill from the top as you're covering the eclairs with chocolate and means you won't get any custard on your hands when eating.
“Doesn’t it look sexy? Do you want me? Yes, I do” 😂 I’m so glad you show your personality in your videos!

Jessica, that line cracked me up, too, lol! I love his passion for ll tell things he makes... He gets it!😁😌😍
He might just be a fruitkake
I quite appreciate how he put the actual measured weight/volume in there too since like every country has different sized cups etc
Amen, that's the trigger that made me subscribe. It is so frustrating converting volume to weight etc.
Only america has differemt measurements
@@yorricks6991 Nah like every different country has a different standard cup, i'm not talking about metric vs imperial
For the egg wash he said tablespoon, but the graphic said tsp. Which is it?
@@psychedelicmonkey55 you know what's the solution to this? A kilo will always be a kilo, no matter where you are in the world
If I could make a suggestion for this recipe. Instead of piping the pastry creme in from the bottom, pipe it in from the top. If you noticed after John took a bite, the creme was oozing out from the bottom from the holes. But by piping it in from the top, once done, you will be dipping it in the chocolate topping, so it will seal the holes.
Or you can also not fill the eclair to the brim
@@socringe2217 Sure, if you hate life.
@@BeardedDanishViking theres a difference where you filled the eclair sufficiently and where the eclair is bloated. Its not so enjoyable to eat if the pastry cream pops everywhere so thats what i meant by my comment to not fill it to the brim.
Or you can pipe the cistard from the middle.
Wait, nvm top is better
Or you could fill it from one end, which is what I've seen lots of chef do on screen of course!
For the Filling:
▢ 2 cups whole milk
▢ 1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise
▢ 6 egg yolks
▢ 2/3 cup sugar
▢ 1/4 cup cornstarch
▢ 1 tbs cold unsalted butter
Thank you!
There is nothing in the video about butter in the filling...
It's in google
@@MrTandtrollet it’s literally the first step
@@theoppositeistruewhere? First step is milk

I noticed the copper aesthetic, too! Those pans!! Pretty!

This is my dream kitchen. You have impeccable taste :-)
I've made this recipe twice before and both times they were ADORED. This recipe is absolutely delicious and the video is very helpful. He doesn't just tell you the steps as they are, he shows you exactly how to stir, pipe, and bake the eclairs. My friend showed me this channel and I've fallen in love.
may i ask a question? he said to put the batch 425 for 15 minutes and reduce the temperature to 375? does it mean i have t bake it for 425 for 15min and take it out of the oven and oreheat the oven to 475 and than put the batch back in? can you plese help me?
Lve made this recipe twice before and both times they were ADORED this recipe is absolutely delicious and is
@@user-nh5fq4sw5t that is what it means but i find that they’re often a little too crispy especially when you pipe the eclairs a little too thin. I find that you have to adjust the temp and just fiddle around. Start low and work your way up until they’re just how you like them.

I literally spent two days, 4 recipes, and 8 batches trying to make eclairs!! I came across this video and this recipe worked the FIRST TIME I tried it! ( and made my custard WAY better with whipping cream ). Don’t even hesitate, this recipe is perfection for novice bakers!
So you used whipping cream instead of milk ??
@@VickyRyan2018 I use half milk and half whipping cream without butter at the end
@@halaassi4431 thank you
Preppy kitchen DOES NOT MISS BABY! Love him n all his recipes
I actually have a lot of respect for bakers/chefs that can keep me interested in what they're doing without speeding up the video and stuff, so kudos to you! Great Video.
i'm sorry. but you sound pretentious and stuck up. chefs/bakers don't create videos to keep you interested.
@@ST-gy5xb pretentious bitch?
@@ST-gy5xb let her speak her mind ,everybody don't have to be like you .Don't be rude...
But he did sped time while beating in the mixer tho
Yes speeding up their video. Boo hoo.
I made these eclairs and they are absolutely delicious! I’m 13 and I made these so they are kinda foolproof!! Here’s my tips:
-you don’t need an injector tip or a star tip
- use johns trick for piping by cutting it
- don’t get discouraged: it looks incredible after the glaze!!
Thanks John,

Or not that Bryn
I made these and was actually shocked that they came out perfectly. I had a hard time filling about half of them and made a small mess on the bottom but that’s okay. I did not use a dark chocolate but semi sweet and that was plenty dark for us, any darker and the chocolate ganache may have overwhelmed the pastry and filling a little bit. I also wound up only making 12 total large eclairs on one baking sheet but they were perfect after only 20 minutes on 375. Crispy and browned perfectly while hollow like they should be. I don’t have a stand mixer either so I used an electric hand mixer with only 1 mixer attached when folding the eggs into the dough, along with a rubber spatula and had success.
Thanks again!
ALL of his recipes turn out perfectly tbh. love this guy.
Hello John… it’s currently 3:45pm here in Texas. I must say, I’ve seen many & I mean a lot of videos of people “showing” or trying to “teach” us how to cook or bake… the one thing I first pay attention to, is the ingredients, most of them, or should I say, all of them, think that they’re helping us (but I seriously believe that they’re just being cheap) by “using” the affordable stuff. But not you, kudos to you. You use the best ingredients for all of your recipes. I noticed it right away when I saw you mix the chocolate with heavy whipped cream, when others so called professionals would’ve used milk, even water (Ew!) but not you. And every & each other step you did while baking, only showed how much love you put in to your creations. Thank you John, like our kids say, You Rock! I’ll be buying your book. I hope one day I’ll get to meet you, just so you can sign my book. I hadn’t cooked or baked in 3 years, you see, I got sick, w/Lupus plus some other stuff. I was a little depressed, but after watching your vids & recipes, you gave me something to look forward to, I’ll be baking again your recipes & very soon, my husband & kids (that are no longer little kids anymore) are going to be so happy … The only thing that has me a little (very little) is that I won’t be able to taste your very own profiterole prepared with your own hands… But I’ll deal. Thank you John, you’ve been a blessing to me, God bless you.

"It's basically foolproof".
You haven't met this fool.
Me, whenever tries to teach me anything simple.
Me: “I’ll give it a go! But just know that I’ll probably mess it up!”
My friend: “....It’s just rolling the dough into a ball.... _How_ would you mess that up....?”
Me: (looks into the cameraman hiding behind the shelf pointedly as they’ve seen the horrors I’ve committed all my life) *”Observe.”*

It's so fun to watch John make something he really enjoys eating because he just exudes joy and happiness while sharing the recipe and process. Another great video from a wonderful content creator.

I love these videos! I especially loved when you kept taking taking spoonfuls of the cream. Love seeing you enjoy these heavenly creations you are so good at making!
Please check the egg wash amounts: you mention 1 Tablespoon of milk but the subtitle/print says: 1 tsp. For those that rely on the subtitles, this could be important. I can't wait to try them! I made them when I was very very young (like 10 yrs old or less) with my mom and I am now 65! I haven't made them for years. Making the egg mixture over the stove brought back all the memories! Thank you!

Do not talk to me that way, I was trying to stay away from recipe vids.
😂😂
Lol
I'm so happy that someone finally adds also weight in g, not only cups or tablespoon. I'm an European and that's a lot easier for me!
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that there are a number of steps to making chocolate! First, cocoa beans are picked from the tree. At this stage, the beans are white and gooey. The beans are fermented for 2 weeks and left to dry. Once dry, the beans have turned brown! The dried beans are roasted to create more flavor, and finally, made into chocolate products!
Made these for Christmas, and they were a true hit! Absolutely delicious. Thank you for the fantastic recipe!
this video brings a smile to my face, enjoyed the whole process and how you're genuinely excited, it's contagious!
Meanwhile my mom's mad cause I consumed a dozen of eggs
Please stop giving reasons😂😂😂that's pissing her now 😂😂
Now she's mad moreover Its quarantine 😉😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate it though! ❤
So? She knew how to eat them ! ! !
Shreya Dutta you can reduce using the eggs by substitute the pastry cream by using ready pudding.
Ammona laymona a recipe my family has been making for 20 years is called “chocolate eclair cake” and it’s made with instant pudding mixed with cream cheese. It is amazing.
Supr Eme I don’t think it does. However, it does have modified starch in it, which gels at any temp. Do you know how if you make a sauce with a corn starch slurry it thickens and gets gelatinous? Like that, but it’s been modified to where it can do that without boiling.
Supr Eme I think she was complaining that her mom didn’t want her using all the eggs in the house not that she’s averse right using egg products. The pudding reduces how many eggs she takes from the household. Nothing like getting all my dry ingredients ready for a cake to realize my son used all the eggs 😆
I tried the eclairs today but it seems an important note has been missed - after you have finished baking the eclairs, turn off the oven and let them sit and cool for about 10-15 mins, without opening the oven door. I made the mistake of taking them out right away which made the first batch totally flat. Please add this to the recipe.
I didn’t have that issue? They rose and came out well??
Maybe you took them out too soon?
Could be it was quite cold in your kitchen, which is why, i had the same problem when making sm other choux creme
5:10
You hv to stay until becoming really a golden brown
I’m surprised-I never had that problem. But I agree with someone in the comments. Edit: *I agreed with the one baking them until they become a golden brown throughout.
Did you bake it on the higher temperature for like 15 mins and lowering down to 375 for 25 mins?
But I think the website mentioned stabbing a few small holes into the eclairs after baking to let the steam out. I’m not sure if not doing that makes your eclairs deflate.
This is legit my go to Eclair recipe. Thanks for always sharing the best :)
Idk why but the positive energy makes me so happy
A tip for the eclairs if you dont have a tip or you dont want to eat it like a sandwich is you can take a chopstick or a large toothpick (for the toothpick, use the butt end- or unsharp end, of it and wiggle it around a few times). Just poke the chopstick in and proceed to fill up your eclair. it should work the same way (at least it did for me!)
Me: *fasting* “I’m so hungry”
UA-cam recommendations: I got you covered
Reema G me too, fast...only eating cooking shows
I be watching mukbangs and cooking videos all day during Ramadan tbh :-)
Same here😭😭😭💔
FACTS and I love eclairs
Reema G so true!!! LOL
OMG!!! This HAS TO BE my FAVORITE Video about baking! YOU are AWESOME!!! I LOVE THIS... I chuckled, laughed and could NOT stop smiling for an hour after watching this video. When I was in Culinary School I fell in LOVE with homemade Chocolate Eclairs! And YOU are the 1st Person I have ever seen that I believe truly LOVES THESE as much as I do! THANK YOU!!! I cannot wait to make these again. I have NOT baked or made these in years! And I NEVER have found a bakery that made them that truly tasted like I can tell these will taste! OMG!!! THANK YOU!!! I love your channel, but this one "takes the prize"! Love it! Love You!
Returned for your demonstration of how to make eclairs. My mother would surprise us in the midst of a struggle for the American dream when all that was left were the comforts of a mother's cooking. Thank you for your videos and great presentation of cooking from the heart. Hopefully I can recreate what you do so masterfully. Thank you. Did follow your video on Bread Pudding! Another great.
Unbelievably delicious and literally SAVED me from spending $4 for ONE Eclair at WholeFoods that I usually buy for my son (who has autism and VERY limited food preferences)...HE LOVED IT!!! Thanks, subscriber for life :)
Yes, make at home. Fresh and the cost of one you can make lots. Great moms!
Yep bake at home after some time u'll start baking amazing stuff
I totally trust this man!! Has never led me wrong. I also like making these into cream puffs, little, poppable. And as a nanny/Mom, I would melt chocolate chips in small dish in microwave, stirring every 20 sec, at 50% power. Meanwhile peel nice naval orange, then dip segments in warm chocolate-very quick snack, I love it.
What the heck, i never knew knew éclaire were this expensive outside of France, it's literally 2 euro for 6 or more éclaire..
You can freeze the shells , and use instant pudding on a dime to make quickly. Hershey premade frosting as well for fast treat.
I usually never leave comments. But. I've made almost all OF HIS recipes. And they all have been heavenly. He breaks it down perfectly. Made these today, andddd WOW amazing! Thank you for much John :)
This is the best recipe, I’m not good at baking but every time that I make your recipes I’m the queen 🤴 the language and explanations are so clear ! I love you ❤️

Hi mister John , I tried a lot of recipes from your Chanel and loved them all, I baked brownies , eclairs, cream puffs ,cookies , toffee " that holiday treat " ,Carmel cake ..and all of them were more than fantastic ..as we say in Arabic Mashallah for things we are amazed of , so I thank you so much for your trusted recipes , I actually only search for dessert recipes on your channel , so thank you from my heart💞
this recipe is exactly the same as for a catalan "bunyol de vent"! I do them every year for Pascua (holy week in Spain, basically), but instead of making them on the oven, you deep fry them. Also, not elongated but rounded. The reaction is immediate, and it creates a big bubble of mass almost completely empty on the inside, with a delicious spongy texture inside and a soft crust. When right out of the oil, they get a sugar bath that sticks because of the heat and that's it! Although not typical, I love to fill some of them with custard, since they are so fluffy and empty that it's easy to inject them with whatever you want.
fun fact: the "vent" in "bunyol de vent" means air in catalan because of it's big inside cavities. They turn out as big bubbles, but so light!
Yessssss!!!! I've been looking for a good eclair recipe, thank you so much! I really trust your recipes so I know these eclairs are delicious
Eclairs are easy to make if you have a basic recipe. The Ratio is 2-1-2-1. Milk or Water(Milk better for taste)- Butter- Egg- Flour
I got nervous when you added that first egg in right away. Usually I've seen the first egg go in after the dough has been cooled to prevent scrambling the eggs.
that scared tf out of me

I really enjoy your baking, your so easy to watch. Thank-you.....
Genuinely puts a smile on my face with how much he's enjoying himself, just kept eating the custard and wanting to eat the one shell he filled up immediately lol, the darn eclairs look so good too!
So, two things I wanted to bring up to you. I am a culinary student and we made eclairs a few weeks ago. The first thing is, when you warm the butter and water and bring it to a boil, you then add your flour and you are to stir vigorously for 1 minute. The reason you do that is to cook off the flavor of the flour. The second thing is when you added the hot dough to the mixer, you turned it on and started adding the eggs. What we were taught is to put it in the mixer, turn it on and keep feeling the bottom of the bowl and bring the temp down to were you can comfortably touch the bottom, you are wanting to bring the temperature down to 140 degrees and then you add your eggs to the dough to the right constancy. Take care.
This is the recipe from my culinary school. Pate Choux
2 cups Water
8 oz. Butter
Pinch of kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 eggs
Method:
1. Melt butter in a saucepan.
2. Add water and bring to a boil.
3. Add flour and stir until a dough forms.
4. Continue cooking the mixture over low-medium heat for 1 minute.
5. Remove from heat and place in a mixer with the paddle attachment.
6. Turn on low speed and cool mixture to 140° or lower.
7. Slowly add the eggs 1 at a time
8. Place in a pastry bag with an 806 round tip.
9. Pipe according to chef’s demonstration
10. Bake in 400° oven until slightly golden brown.
11. Reduce heat to 350° and bake until the inside of the choux is slightly dry.
12. Cool on rack.
@@RipVanAllan1983 thank you, man! This is great. Gonna try your version. I also don’t understand the sugar in the dough. It must be plain and a bit salty
@@toysforeva I don't know why he adds sugar to the paste either, you get the sweetness from the creme in the eclairs. I know that what I was taught in school and is very important is to cook the paste for a min or two to cook off the flour taste and then let it cool down while mixing in the blender, but the way he adds the eggs to his hot dough he is not tempering his eggs right he is curdling his eggs which your not supposed to do.
@@RipVanAllan1983 I went to 6 or 8 culinary classes back in 2012 I think, and after you mentioned all those discrepancies, it all came back to me, like a flood. They said exactly same thing in my class too.
