Homemade Eclairs with Blackberry and Vanilla Filling

Homemade Eclairs with Blackberry and Vanilla Filling are delicious and unbelievably simple to make them on your own.

Eclairs, profiteroles and all in all choux pastry sound intimidating, but it shouldn’t be!

I vividly remember my grandmother serving huge profiteroles with vanilla cream filling and how amazing they were! So my very first “advance” baking was profiteroles, inspired by my grandmother’s. I remember how excited I was and how I didn’t know it was supposed to be hard. After about 30 minutes of baking, I held a bunch of gorgeous profiteroles in my hand.

Next time I went to my grandmother’s, I excitedly told her about my first profiteroles and that hers inspired it. Funnily enough, my grandma stared at me with wide eyes. She told me she buys them at the store next door and she never dared to make them. In that moment I was so proud of myself, so excited that I made something my grandma can’t! (Also I felt like she fooled me with those huge and gorgeous profiteroles)

So that day skyrocketed my “kitchen self-confidence”. I learned that if I can make choux pastry, I can make anything basically.
