Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup butter(no substitutes)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
Vanilla Filling Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups cold fat-free milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (1-ounce) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup fat-free whipped topping
Chocolate Topping Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups cold fat-free milk
  • 1 (1.4oz) package sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C)
  2. In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; seal.
  3. Cut a 1-inch hole in one corner of bag. Pipe eight 3½-inch logs onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F (205°C); bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each to allow steam to escape; cool.
  5. Carefully cut off tops. Set the tops aside. Remove soft dough from the inside with a fork.
  6. For Vanilla Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat milk, vanilla and pudding on low speed for 2 minutes or until thickened. Fold in whipped topping; set aside.
  7. For Chocolate Topping: In another mixing bowl, beat milk and chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  8. Spoon vanilla filling into eclairs; replace tops. Spread with chocolate topping.
