Decadent Vegan Eclairs with Silky Chocolate Ganache

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4.Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

5.Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe long strips (about 4 inches) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each eclair.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eclairs are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

7.While the eclairs are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and creamy.

8.Once the eclairs are cool, use a sharp knife to make a small slit in the side of each eclair. Fill a piping bag with the coconut cream filling and pipe it into each eclair through the slit until filled.

9.For the chocolate ganache, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before using.

10.Dip the top of each filled eclair into the chocolate ganache, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the eclairs on a wire rack to set the ganache.

11.Serve the vegan eclairs chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious treat!
