Eclairs

Ingredients:
Cream Puffs
1 - 5 ounce box of instant vanilla pudding, prepared
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Directions:
Prepare cream puffs according to this recipe.

For filling, prepare the vanilla pudding according to the directions on the box. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until it is fluffy. Gently fold in the whip cream with the pudding. Put pudding mixture into a pastry bag and fill the cooled cream puffs with the pudding.

For the icing, heat 1 cup of heavy cream till hot (hot enough to melt chocolate). Pour cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit until the chocolate is soft. Mix the chocolate and cream until it is smooth. Add the melted butter to the mixture for more shine.

Dip the eclairs into the frosting and hold to let the excess drip off the sides. Refrigerate the eclairs until frosting sets and serve.
