  • water 1/2 cup
  • melted butter 1/4 cup
  • vanilla extract 2 teaspoons
  • heavy cream 1 cup

Take note
Be careful while working with hot ingredients and sharp objects. Keep an eye on your baking time to avoid burning the eclairs.

1

Whisking the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.

2

Piping the Eclairs

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the prepared batter into a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip. Pipe 4-inch (10 cm) long lines onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each eclair for them to expand. Smooth out any peaks with a wet finger. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

3

Preparing the Filling

While the eclairs are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, whip together 1 cup of heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 cup of diced fresh mango.

Filling the Eclairs

Once the eclairs are completely cooled, slice off the top third of each eclair. Spoon or pipe the mango cream filling into the bottom two-thirds of the eclairs. Place the top back on and lightly dust the eclairs with powdered sugar. Optionally, you can drizzle them with a little melted dark chocolate for an extra indulgence.

Chilling and Serving

Refrigerate the filled eclairs for about 1 hour to allow the cream to set. Serve chilled and enjoy your tropical Coconut Mango Eclairs!
