Instructions
Step 1
Start by combining the honeysuckle and inverted sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, and then add the cream.
Mix everything well and transfer it to a saucepan. Heat the mixture gently over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. After that, let it cool before using it in the éclairs.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Whisk the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking until the cream holds soft peaks. Ensure not to overwhip.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine the water and butter. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Once the butter has melted, remove the pan from heat and add the flour and salt.
Stir vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Allow it to cool slightly before adding the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). Pipe the dough onto a lined baking sheet, forming long strips for the éclairs.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffy. Avoid opening the oven during baking.
Step 5
Once the éclairs are cooled, carefully slice them open. Fill each éclair with the honeysuckle ganache and top with a generous amount of Chantilly cream.
For a beautiful finish, drizzle some more ganache on top and enjoy this delicious treat reminiscent of a creamy berry dessert!
Servings
A sprinkle of edible flowers on top can bring an elegant touch, making them perfect for garden parties or special occasions. Imagine your guests gasping in delight as they take a bite of these beautiful pastries, bursting with flavor and nostalgia! Remember to serve them on pretty plates and watch as they disappear in no time! 🌸✨
Equipment
This tool is essential for creating beautifully shaped eclairs. A sturdy piping bag with a large round tip works best—this ensures an even distribution of your mixture.

Faq
- I'm a beginner baker. Can I make these eclairs without any fancy equipment?
Absolutely! You can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off as a piping bag and regular mixing bowls. The trick is to follow the instructions carefully.
- How can I tell if my eclairs are done baking?
The eclairs should be golden brown and puffed up. If you tap them lightly, they should sound hollow. Don't open the oven until the baking time is almost complete!
- As an intermediate baker, what tips can improve my eclair's texture?
Make sure to incorporate air while mixing your dough, and allow the eclairs to cool completely before filling them. This helps maintain their texture!
- What's the best way to store leftover eclairs?
Fill them just before serving; otherwise, store unfilled eclairs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For filled eclairs, refrigerate them, and consume within a couple of days.
- For experienced bakers, how can I ensure the size of my eclairs is consistent?
Using a stencil as a guide while piping can help maintain size uniformity. Practice makes perfect!
- What adjustments do I need to make for high-altitude baking?
You may need to decrease the baking powder slightly and increase the oven temperature. Keep an eye on the baking time, as it may vary!
