Tuesdays with Dorie BCM: Bubble Éclairs

I love making pastries with choux paste. The dough is so fun to make, and then when you open the oven the oven and find a tray of chubby golden puffs, well, I think it’s just delightful. These Bubble Éclairs are like cream puffs piped (I used a pastry bag and tip rather than a cookie scoop or spoon) snuggled up together in éclair form. Cute!
You can get fancy with these éclairs, or keep them simple like I did. I just sprinkled a little Swedish pearl sugar on the tops before baking and filled them with coffee whipped cream after (flavored with the espresso syrup I still have in the fridge from BWJ’s Cardinal Slice). I did make a couple of fancier ones with white chocolate glaze and passion fruit whipped cream, but it was such a hot, muggy day that they became a drippy mess when I tried to photo them. Whatever, you get the idea. I sure wouldn’t mind an éclair served profiterole-style, with ice cream and chocolate sauce…next time.
For the recipe, see Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan (it’s also here). Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

Coffee whipped cream sounds awesome! Is that whipped cream with espresso syrup? Anything else added? Totally want to make now!

Yes, first I whipped the cream and them drizzled in the syrup and gave it a couple of extra folds with the whisk. The espresso syrup is from a recipe in BWJ…caramelized sugar with strong espresso added in and boiled down a bit together…so it is quite intense and already sweetened.
