Rose & Raspberry Eclairs

Servings 12

Ingredients

For the choux pastry

  • 75 g Butter
  • 200 ml Cold water
  • 125 g Plain flour
  • 3 Eggs

For the rose icing

  • 125 g Icing sugar
  • ½ tsp Rose water
  • 6 blocks of White chocolate
  • 4 Fresh raspberries crushed

For the filling

  • 36 Fresh raspberries
  • 500 ml Double cream

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and the cold water in a pan on a low heat
  • Once it is melted, bring the mixture to the boil
  • As soon as it is boiling, take it off the heat and tip in the sifted plain flour. Mix it in quickly until a smooth dough forms, then leave it to cool for 10 minutes
  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C Fan/200C/400F/Gas Mark 6, and lined a couple of baking trays with greaseproof baking paper
  • Mix the eggs into the pastry, bit by bit, until it becomes a glossy smooth paste
  • Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a large circular nozzle, and pipe out 10cm/4" sausage shapes onto a lined baking tray. Use a knife dipped in water to cut the paste off at the end of the sausage shape
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Take them out and cut a slit down the side, then put them back in the oven for 5 minutes
  • Make the rose icing by mixing the icing sugar, rose water, 1 tbsp water and the juice out of the crushed raspberries. Use a spoon to top the eclairs with it, and sprinkle over some grated white chocolate
  • Whip up the double cream, and pipe it into the eclairs. Then add 3 raspberries per eclair - or more if you like!
