Description

Delicate choux pastry made with whole wheat flour, filled with an airy chocolate cream based on Greek yogurt and topped with crunchy sugar-free hazelnut praline. A perfect dessert without the guilt.

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes until golden. Transfer hot nuts to a towel and rub to remove the skins.
  2. Grind the peeled hazelnuts in a blender into fine crumbs. Set half aside for garnish. Add half of the erythritol to the remaining nuts and blend until a liquid praline paste forms.
  3. Combine water, butter, a pinch of salt, and the remaining erythritol in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add all the flour at once, and quickly knead the dough with a spoon until it forms a ball and leaves a film on the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Beat the egg and egg white into the cooled dough one at a time, mixing thoroughly with a spatula each time until a smooth, glossy dough forms. It should slowly fall from the spatula in a heavy ribbon.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe 3-4 strips about 8-10 cm long. Bake for 25 minutes at 180°C, then reduce the temperature to 160°C and bake for another 15 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking!
  6. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the eclairs cool down for 10 minutes. Then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. For the cream, mix cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, milk, and stevia. Whip with a mixer on low speed until fluffy and smooth. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to stabilize.
  8. Slice the cooled eclairs in half lengthwise. Generously pipe the chocolate cream onto the bottom half, drizzle a thin stream of hazelnut praline on top. Cover with the top half, press down gently, and sprinkle with the remaining nut crumbs.
