Delicate pastries filled with a creamy pistachio mixture, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with 1 cup of water until it reaches a rolling boil.
  3. Quickly stir in the flour until a smooth dough forms, cooking until it pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Remove from heat and let the dough cool slightly—about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, pipe long strips of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, aiming for about 4 inches in length.
  7. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. While the eclairs cool, blend the shelled pistachios in a food processor until finely ground.
  9. In a medium bowl, mix the ground pistachios with milk, powdered sugar, whipped cream, and vanilla until creamy and well-combined.
  10. Once the eclairs have cooled completely, cut them lengthwise and fill each with the pistachio mixture.
  11. To finish, garnish the filled eclairs with extra chopped pistachios.
