Tiramisu Eclairs

Making this recipe was like a reading comprehension game – I followed a Tastemade video, and its accompanying text (surprise: the two diverge). So here is my hard-won wisdom: You don’t need that extra egg white in the choux pastry. You need to double the pastry cream if you want to have enough! Corn “flour” is a typo – they mean “cornstarch”. The whipping cream+mascarpone needs a bit of powdered sugar. The espresso shot can be put in before or after refrigeration of the cream (and yes it could be a simple espresso shot rather than instant coffee in the first cup of milk used for the cream).

Other than this semi-confusion, the experience was dreadful because choux pastry is messy. But eclairs with coffee cream are a revelation deserving of some suffering along the way 🙂

Here’s the infamous recipe:
