Tiramisu Eclairs

Tiramisu Eclairs- two delicious flavors in one, irresistibly light and exquisite!

I love tiramisu. I love eclairs. It just made perfect sense to me to combine the two. The result is just incredibly light flavorful dessert.

Since eclair shells don’t have any spongy texture to soak the coffee liqueur, I added the coffee flavor in the filling. All the essential flavors of tiramisu are combined in one decadent creamy filling wrapped in delicate choux pastry.

Here’s a snapshot of eclair shell recipe. For detailed recipe for eclair shell, check out my original eclair recipe here.

 While the éclairs are baking, prepare the filling.

Voila! If you feel fancy, drizzle some chocolate ganache.

These tiramisu eclairs are definitely a crowd-pleaser! Make these for your next cocktail party.

Ingredients

For the shell:

• 1 cup 240ml water1 cup 240ml water
• 1 stick 115gr unsalted butter1 stick 115gr unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar1 tablespoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup 140gr all-purpose flour1 cup 140gr all-purpose flour
• 5 large eggs at room temperature5 large eggs at room temperature

For filling:

• 2 tablespoons Marsala wine2 tablespoons Marsala wine
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 egg yolks3 egg yolks
• ¼ cup sugar¼ cup sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz mascarpone cheese at room temperature8 oz mascarpone cheese at room temperature

Note: I test all my recipes with both measurements for the most precise and accurate result!

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In medium saucepan, boil milk, water, butter, sugar and salt on high heat.
• When the milk mixture is boiling, add the flour all at once, reduce the heat to medium and continuously mix everything. The dough will start to form into a ball. Keep mixing for another 3-4 minutes until light crust forms on the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer the dough into a mixing bowl with paddle attachment and mix it for a few minutes on low speed until the mixture is at room temperature.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to get egg absorbed into the dough quicker. Don’t add more than 2 eggs at a time. This is important, as you might not need to add all the eggs. The dough should not be too runny, yet not too thick.
• Transfer the batter into a pastry bag and pipe into 3-inch strips 2 inches apart. Level peaked tops with wet fingertip.
• Bake for 10 minutes and open the oven door ajar. Insert a wooden spoon. Continue baking for 10 more minutes. Rotate sheets top to bottom and back to front. Bake about another 10 minutes. When you take the éclairs out, it should stay puffed. If it falls flat, put it back in the oven, turn the oven off and let it cool in the warm oven.
• While the éclairs are baking, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, combine Marsala wine, instant espresso and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, beat the egg yolks with sugar until pale.
• Place the saucepan over simmering water and add wine mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes stirring constantly until thick. Then remove from simmering water and cool slightly.
• In a mixing bowl with whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until hard peaks form.
• Add mascarpone cheese and whipped cream into cooled custard mixture and gently mix everything with folding motion.
• Once the éclair shells are cooled completely, cut them horizontally. Pipe the tiramisu filling on bottom shell and put the top back on right before serving. Keep refrigerated.
