Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Lemon Raspberry Eclairs
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of filtered water and ½ cup of butter over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until a smooth dough forms. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then whisk in 4 eggs, one at a time.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a piping bag, pipe 4-inch long strips of the dough on the prepared sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the eclairs from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- While cooling, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with ½ cup of powdered sugar and the zest and juice of 2 lemons until soft peaks form. Chill for about 15 minutes.
- Pierce the sides of each cooled eclair and fill them with the chilled lemon cream using a piping bag.
- Combine ½ cup of raspberry puree with 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and glossy. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Dip the tops of each filled eclair into the raspberry glaze and allow excess to drip off. Place on a serving platter and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving.
