Welcome to the world of delicious chocolate éclairs! Get ready to indulge in a mouth-watering treat that will leave you wanting more.
2.
First, gather all the ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and of course, chocolate. Don't forget to preheat your oven to 375°F.
3.
In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of water. Once melted, add 1 cup of flour and stir until the mixture forms a ball.
4.
Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, add 4 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe 4-inch long strips onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
6.
While the éclairs are baking, let's make the filling. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
7.
Once the éclairs are done, let them cool before filling them with the cream mixture. Use a piping bag to fill each éclair with the delicious cream.
8.
Now for the best part, the chocolate glaze! In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 2 tbsp of butter. Stir until smooth.
9.
Dip the top of each éclair into the chocolate glaze and let it set for a few minutes. You can also drizzle the glaze over the éclairs for a fancy touch.

And there you have it, your very own homemade chocolate éclairs! Enjoy this delectable treat with a cup of coffee or share it with your loved ones. Bon appétit!
