Instructions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 500 ml of water and 150 grams of unsalted butter to a boil. Once boiling, add a pinch of salt.
Reduce the heat and gradually mix in 250 grams of all-purpose flour. Stir continuously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add 6 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe into a rectangular shape onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 150 grams of sugar, 20 grams of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.
In a saucepan, bring 500 ml of milk to a simmer. Gradually pour the hot milk into the dry mixture while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until thick. Once thickened, remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract and 1 egg. Allow to cool.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whip 200 ml of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the cooled pastry cream into the whipped cream until well combined.
Step 4
Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled choux pastry. Starting from one end, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. You may tie it with kitchen twine to ensure it keeps its shape.
Place the rolled eclair in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before slicing. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful pastry!
Servings
When it comes to serving your cream puff roll, the options are endless! You can simply slice it up and serve it on a beautiful plate, perhaps with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of elegance. For an extra special treat, consider drizzling some chocolate sauce over the slices or serving it with fresh berries. 🍓
If you want to take it outdoors, pack individual slices in pretty containers for a picnic delight! Nothing beats enjoying a sweet treat with nature and good company. 🌞🍰
Want to make it a full dessert table? Serve with a side of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent experience. Your guests will be raving about your skills!

Variations
For those who have dietary restrictions, fear not! You can enjoy this cream puff roll in both gluten-free and vegan versions. For a gluten-free twist: simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend, and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free too! 🌾❌
Now, if you’re looking for a vegan alternative, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk and replace the eggs with a mixture of flaxseed meal and water. Use a non-dairy cream for whipping it up! This way, everyone can join in on the delicious fun. 🌱
Faq
- Why is my pastry not puffing up?
This can happen if your oven temperature is too low or if there's not enough moisture in the batter. Make sure to preheat your oven properly and check your measurements!
- How can I tell when my pastry is done baking?
Your pastry should be golden brown and feel light to the touch. You can also do the "toothpick test": insert one, and it should come out clean!
- Can I make the cream puff roll ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pastry and the cream separately a day ahead. Just assemble before serving for the freshest taste!
- What can I do to prevent my cream from deflating?
Make sure to whip it until soft peaks form, and gently fold it into the pastry to maintain airiness!
- Is it possible to freeze the cream puff roll?
Yes, you can freeze the unfilled pastry. Make sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap and foil. Just remember to thaw it before filling!
- How long can I store leftovers?
The cream puff roll is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just know it may lose some of its crispiness!
