Ingredients

• 28 ml Vanilla Essence
• 250 ml Fresh Cream
• 150 g Dark Chocolate
• - Butter
• 500 g Wheat Flour / Maida
• 500G Madhur Sugar

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (ensure it is Jain-friendly, without animal rennet), and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts completely.
3. 3. Once the butter has melted, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
4. 4. Gradually add 3 large eggs (or Jain-friendly egg substitutes like mashed banana or yogurt) to the dough, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough becomes glossy and smooth.
5. 5. Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe 6-8 oblong shapes (about 4 inches long) onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each.
6. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the eclairs are golden brown and puffed up. Do not open the oven during the first 20 minutes to prevent them from collapsing.
7. 7. Remove the eclairs from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
8. 8. For the filling, whisk 1 cup of heavy cream (or Jain-friendly coconut cream) with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
9. 9. Once the eclairs are cool, make a small slit on the side of each eclair and pipe the whipped cream filling inside using a piping bag.
10. 10. For the chocolate glaze, melt 1/2 cup of Jain-friendly dark chocolate (without animal-derived additives) with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.
11. 11. Dip the top of each filled eclair into the melted chocolate glaze, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place them on a wire rack to set.
12. 12. Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Jain-friendly chocolate eclairs!
