Mmmmmmm! I was so excited for this recipe, and it did not disappoint! I made half of the recipe and made around 30 mini eclairs. Even with being so small, they took over 20 minutes to bake. I decided to go with chocolate pastry cream to fill these, and I am so glad I did, it is so delicious!!!! Seriously, my dreams are made of stuff like this chocolate pastry cream. I've been spreading the leftovers on chocolate-chip oatmeal cookies, yum!
The vanilla glaze provided quite the challenge! When I was mixing it I kept thinking it should be thinner, but then it would drip right off of the eclairs. I decided to top them with some sprinkles that I bought when I made
cake donuts a few weeks ago. I definitely want to make full-sized eclairs someday soon, and try different flavours!

Your eclairs are so cute. The sprinkles add that extra special cuteness! I loved the chocolate filling too (and ate way to much of it out of the pan)!!
ReplyDeleteI love bite size eclairs...and I always love sprinkles. Yes, a longer baking time is a good idea. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThose looks so appetizing! How can you go wrong with chocolate filling?
ReplyDeleteThe sprinkles add so much to the photos - so cute!
ReplyDeleteThese eclairs are adorable, I could eat the whole plate all by myself! But I'm greedy with desserts like that... and I'd definitely make the full batch of this recipe ;-). Great job, love it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture overlooking the lake.
I love the photo with the tree...where is that? Chocolate filling for eclairs is appropriate for three meals a day and every day!
ReplyDeleteLove the colored sprinkles on your éclairs, Monica! They look great :)
ReplyDeletekid friendly eclairs - I like it!
ReplyDeleteSO cute with the sprinkles! I think I'll making mini eclairs the next time, too...great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the sprinkles! It makes the eclairs look not so fussy. I need to try chocolate pastry cream one day. YUM!

ReplyDeleteIs it really week #29 of FFWD? The time really flies! Your mini-eclairs are adorable. I used sprinkles to decorate too.
ReplyDeleteYour mini eclairs are so cute and colorful!
ReplyDeleteThat chocolate pastry cream was made of magic! I'm whipping up a batch again today and can't wait. Your eclairs are made of fun! How great it is that you've inverted the flavors of the popular vanilla/chocolate combo.
ReplyDeleteThese are cute. Small eclairs are nice so you can eat more!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!! The nature photos are in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
