Ingredients

Decoration

  • Lime peel

  • 1 Passion fruit

Italian meringue

  • 1 tbsp. Corn syrup

  • 25 ml Water

  • 100 g Sugar

  • Salt

  • 2 Large egg whites

Glazing

  • Yellow food coloring

  • Red food coloring

  • 100 g Nappage

Passion Fruit Cream Filling

  • 150 g Soft butter

  • 170 g Passion fruit puree

  • 120 g Sugar

  • 4 Large eggs

  • 25 ml Water

  • 5 g Gelatin powder

Eclairs

  • 4 Eggs beaten

  • 90 g All-purpose flour

  • 15 g Cornstarch

  • 3 g Fine salt

  • 70 g Butter

  • 5 g Sugar

  • 160 ml Water

Method

  • 01
    Make the eclairs: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F and turn it just before baking. In a medium saucepan put water, salt, sugar and butter and heat to a strong boil. Add cornstarch and flour and stir while cooking, until it turns into a lump of dough.
  • 02
    Transfer the dough to the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it cools down a little. Add the eggs gradually while beating until dough is elastic and smooth.
  • 03
    Check the readiness of dough by creating a "trail" with a wooden spoon in the center of the dough - if the track remains stable, add some eggs, and if it closes a bit - the dough is ready. It is important not to add too many eggs to the dough or it may become too soft and ruined.
  • 04
    Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a serrated 2 cm piping tip. On a baking tray lined with baking paper pipe 8-10 cm long eclairs. It's important to leave some space between the eclairs.
  • 05
    Bake the eclairs in the shut-down oven for about 18-20 minutes. It is important not to open the oven door during this time. Turn the oven to 170 degrees F (while eclairs are still in) and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of baking, leave the oven door open slot (put a wooden spoon in oven door).
  • 06
    Cool completely at room temperature. Make 2 small holes at the bottom of each eclair. Passion Fruit Cream: In a small bowl mix gelatin and water and set aside for 15 minutes at room temperature, until the gelatin absorbs all the liquid. In a medium saucepan mix eggs, sugar, salt, and passionfruit puree.
  • 07
    Place the pot over medium heat and cook while whisking constantly until you get a thick cream. Remove from heat and add the gelatin. Beat the mixture until it melts. Strain the cream and add butter. Whisk until dissolved and smooth. Transfer the cream into a closed container and refrigerate for 2 hours or until it is completely cold and set.
  • 08
    Transfer the cream into a piping bag fitted with 1/2 cm round piping tip, and fill the eclairs. Keep the eclairs in the refrigerator. Keep the leftover cream in the piping bag in the refrigerator.
  • 09
    Glazing: Put the nappage in a relatively flat plate (one that will be comfortable to dip the eclairs in) and heat slightly in the microwave until it becomes fluid. Add food coloring to taste, until you get a bright orange color. Dip the top of the eclair and shake off excess coating. Refrigerate until the preparation of the meringue.
  • 10
    Italian meringue: Put egg white and salt in the bowl of a mixer with a whipping-attachment. In a small saucepan put sugar, water and corn syrup and heat over high heat until the sugar has dissolved. Cook the syrup until it reaches 117 degrees F and removes from heat.
  • 11
    As soon as the syrup reaches 107 degrees F begin to whip the egg whites on medium speed. When the syrup is 117 degrees F, increase the mixer speed and add it into the egg whites in a thin stream while whipping.
  • 12
    Continue to whip until stable, glossy meringue is formed (this should take about 7-10 minutes of whipping). Transfer the meringue into a piping bag with a jagged 1 cm piping tip.
  • 13
    Pipe small mounds of meringue onto the eclairs. Among the mounds of meringue, drizzle the remaining passion fruit cream. Decorate with some passionfruit and lime peel strips.
