Delicious Honeysuckle Éclairs with Mascarpone Ganache

Begin by washing the honeysuckle berries thoroughly. In a saucepan, combine the honeysuckle and inverted sugar. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and release their juices.

Once cooked, blend the mixture until smooth and strain it to remove any solids. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Fold the whipped cream into the honeysuckle mixture gently until fully combined, creating a light and airy ganache. Set it aside to cool.

In a large saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour and salt until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Allow the dough to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until a smooth dough forms.

Transfer the pastry dough to a piping bag and pipe 10 cm long strips onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (approximately 392°F) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until soft peaks form. This cream will serve as a delightful topping.

Once the pastry shells are baked and cooled, use a small knife to cut a slit in the side of each éclair. Carefully pipe in the honeysuckle ganache, filling each éclair generously.

Top each filled éclair with the mascarpone cream using a piping bag for an elegant finish. You can also drizzle some additional honeysuckle ganache on top for extra flavor.

Arrange the éclairs on a beautiful platter and enjoy them with family and friends. These éclairs are reminiscent of childhood treats and will surely delight with their unique flavors.
