FrenchIn this episode of Sugar-Free Sundays, Chef Sanjeev Kapoor brings you a classic French delight – Éclairs with Chocolate Cream, made lighter and completely guilt-free.
Heat 1 cup water in a nonstick pan. Add butter, Sugar Free Natura and once the butter melts, add refined flour and mix well. Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture in a bowl and allow to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven at 210°C.
Meanwhile to make the filling, take sugar free chocolate in a bowl and melt in the microwave for a minute on high heat. Heat the fresh cream in microwave for 30-40 seconds.
Add fresh cream to melted chocolate and mix well. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Add eggs one by one to the refined flour- butter mixture and beat well to incorporate. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Rest for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture in a piping bag and pipe swirls on a baking tray lined with silicon sheet. Apply little water on the peaks to settle.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Lower the temperature to 180°C and bake for 10-12 minutes more. Allow to cool.
Add Sugar Free Natura to whipped cream and fold in half the chocolate- fresh cream mixture and mix. Transfer the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle.
Make hole at the base of each baked choux paste roll and pipe the whipped cream mixture in the cavity.
Dip the rolls in remaining chocolate- cream mixture and sprinkle some almond flakes on top. Allow the chocolate to set and serve.
Stir the flour mixture over heat until it forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the pan. This “drying” step is crucial for a hollow shell.

This elegant French choux pastry features light, airy shells filled with rich chocolate cream and topped with a glossy chocolate finish with some healthy almonds. Sweetened with Sugar Free Natura, these éclairs deliver all the indulgence of a traditional dessert without any added sugar, making them a smarter way to satisfy your sweet cravings.
Perfect for special occasions or a refined treat at home, these Chocolate Cream Éclairs strike the perfect balance between sophistication and guilt-free indulgence.
