Sugar-Free Chocolate Eclairs

Eclair Ingredients

Dough

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup butter(no substitutes)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs

Vanilla Filling

• 1 1/4 cups cold fat-free milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (1-ounce) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup fat-free whipped topping

Chocolate Topping

• 1 1/2 cups cold fat-free milk
• 1 (1.4oz) package sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix

Directions

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.
