The delicious pastry only takes five ingredients and makes a divine vessel for the creamy vanilla filling. It’s all topped off with a rich, chocolate frosting. Yum! Chocolate Eclairs Pastry     1 cup water    1/2 cup butter, cubed    1/4 teaspoon salt    1 cup all-purpose flour    4 eggs Filling     2 1/2 cups cold milk    1 package (5.1 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix    1 cup heavy whipping cream    1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar    1 teaspoon vanilla extract Frosting     2 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, or 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips    2 tablespoons butter    1 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar    2 to 3 tablespoons hot water In a large saucepan, bring water, butter 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. Using a tablespoon or a pastry tube with a No. 10 or larger tip, form dough into 4-in. x 1 1/2 in. strips on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove to a wire rack. Immediately split eclairs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard soft dough from inside. Cool eclairs. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. In another bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar and vanilla; fold into pudding. Split eclair; remove soft dough from inside. Fill eclairs (chill any remaining filling for another use). For frosting, in a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in sugar and enough hot water to achieve a smooth consistency. Cool slightly. Frost eclairs. Store in refrigerator. Image via jeffreyw/Flickr
