OT - Died and gone to heaven

[Sailorsong]

Well I was felling a little better today so I tried out the Chocolate Cheesecake Eclairs. You do need to watch out how much Hot Fudge you top the eclairs with or it over powers the filling. I just dizzled a little bit of the hot fudge on top of them, just enough to give you a hint of the flavor. After having these I don't think I could go back to the normal eclairs. I only made 6 eclairs ( Actually I made them as cream puffs so I would not have to bother forming the pastry dough) And I ate all of them within a minute or two of getting them filled. If I had amde more of them I would have eaten them as well. :)

The Filling:

8 oz of softened cream cheese
1/4 cup Sugar
1/8 teaspoon of lemon juice
14 tablespoons of coolwhip

Put cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice in small mixing bowl and beat at slow speed until well blended. Add in Coolwhip a little at a time and beat at medium speed until filling is light and fluffy. Fill eclairs or cream puffs with filling then dizzle heated hot fudge over tops.  

Since I had a lot of filling left I suspect this would be enough to fill 18 - 24 eclairs.

I used only about  1 1/2 teaspoons of hot fudge for the topping.


PS You can probably cut down the calories in this by using Spenda instead of Sugar.

Thanks Dennis, I'm drooling now!!

That does sound yummy though and thanks for the recipe. Now if you could send it cyber space to me, then I wouldn't have to waste the time making it and could just eat and enjoy. lol

Still drooling
