Éclair Cake Recipe For Easter Day 2024

Éclair Cake Recipe for Easter Day 2024: This is the ideal dessert to prepare in advance, and it doesn’t require using the oven! For the best and most true eclair taste, my version of eclair cake is made with actual pastry cream (not box pudding mixes) and real handcrafted whipped cream, then covered in smooth chocolate ganache!

Éclair Cake Recipe For Easter Day 2024

• Mix the cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized pot.

• 1/4 cup (150 g) of sugar crystals, ¼ cup (32 g) of cornstarch, and ½ tsp salt
  Beat the egg yolks, cream, and milk together thoroughly in a large measuring cup or another bowl.

• Five large egg yolks, 1 ½ cups (355 ml) heavy cream, and 1 ½ cups (355 ml) whole milk

• Once again, whisk the cornstarch mixture and gradually add the milk, cream, and egg yolk mixture until well blended. Adjust the heat on your burner to medium and whisk continuously until the mixture starts to thicken and resemble pudding. Depending on your stove, this may take some time, so don’t increase the heat too much as you risk overcooking the pastry cream or even stopping it from thickening properly.

• Remove from the heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a large heatproof dish as soon as the pudding has thickened and the whisk leaves traces through the surface (dipping a spoon into the mixture to see whether the back of the spoon is completely covered is another good way to check if it is completed).

• One spoonful of butter at a time, add it and stir until it melts after each addition. Add vanilla extract and stir. Smoothness is required in the mixture.
  Two teaspoons vanilla extract, four tablespoons of unsalted butter divided into four pieces

• To avoid a skin from forming, let the pastry cream cool for 15 minutes while stirring now and then. After that, place a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap immediately on top of the pastry cream and refrigerate until it cools fully, which should take approximately 90 minutes. After the pastry cream has cooled, you can beat up the whipped cream and put the eclair cake together!
