Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 Eggland's Best Eggs
FILLING:
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon boiling water
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, divided
TOPPING:
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the water, milk, butter, sugar and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
  • Transfer to a heavy duty resealable plastic bag; cut a 1-in. hole in one corner of bag. Pipe 3-in. strips about 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown.
  • Pierce side of each eclair with tip of knife. Cool on wire racks. Split eclairs open. Pull out and discard soft dough from inside tops and bottoms.
  • For filling, dissolve coffee granules in boiling water; cool. In a small bowl, beat cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in coffee mixture and 1/4 cup hazelnuts. Refrigerate.
  • Fill the eclairs just before serving; replace tops. Spread with melted chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining hazelnuts. Refrigerate leftovers.
  • Yield: 14 servings.
