Ingredients
Éclair Batter
- 2 Organic Eggs
- 20 g Erythritol
- 100 g Sweet Potato Starch
- 40 g Coconut Milk
- 30 g Moscato Wine
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 15 g Honey
- 15 g Cream of Tartar
Orange Sugar-Free Icing
- 1/4 tsp Coconut Oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp Erythritol
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp grated Orange Zest
- 1 tsp Orange Juice
Coffee Sugar-Free Icing
- 1/4 tsp Coconut Oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp Erythritol
- 1 tsp Dandelion Coffee
- 1/8 tsp Coffee Powder
- 1 tsp Water
Matcha Sugar-Free Icing
- 1/4 tsp Coconut Oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp Erythritol
- 1/4 tsp Matcha Green Tea
- 1 tsp Coconut Milk (or Water)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the erythritol until well combined.
- Sift in the sweet potato starch gradually, mixing continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the coconut milk, Moscato wine, apple cider vinegar, honey, and cream of tartar to the mixture. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
- Pipe the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming éclairs about 4 inches long.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the éclairs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
- Make your icing: heat the coconut oil in a non-stick pan. Add the erythritol and let it cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in the flavor ingredients for your chosen variant (turmeric and orange zest for orange; dandelion coffee and coffee powder for coffee; matcha green tea for matcha). Add the liquid ingredient (orange juice, water, or coconut milk) and cook until the mixture starts to bubble, then let it bubble for a couple of minutes; the longer it stays on the heat, the more caramelized it becomes. Remove from the heat and let it sit a few seconds until it stops bubbling and thins back to a liquid, then pour over the cooled éclairs.
- Once cooled, glaze the éclairs with your choice of sugar-free icing, such as orange, coffee, or matcha green tea.
Notes
For extra indulgence, fill the éclairs with Carob Nutella or Paleo Lemon Curd. Slice them lengthwise and spread the filling inside. Store the éclairs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The glazes can be customized to your preference, allowing for a variety of flavors and colors.
