Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate (70% cocoa, melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and honey. Heat over medium until the butter melts and the mixture starts to simmer.
Reduce heat to low, add the whole wheat flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together in a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the pan from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip. Pipe 6 strips (about 4 inches long each) onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the eclairs are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
While the eclairs cool, prepare the filling by combining Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Using a small knife or piping tip, cut a small hole into the side of each cooled eclair. Fill a piping bag with the mocha yogurt mixture and pipe it into the eclairs.
Finish by drizzling the tops of the eclairs with melted dark chocolate. For an extra touch, refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Guilt Free Iced Mocha Eclair!
