Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for glaze)
1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Choux Pastry: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add flour all at once. Stir until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add Eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Pipe the Eclairs: Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe 4-inch long strips onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla until well combined.
Fill the Eclairs: Once the eclairs are cool, use a piping bag to fill each with the pumpkin cream mixture.
Make the Glaze: Melt white chocolate chips with milk in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Dip the tops of the filled eclairs into the glaze.
Serve: Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your pumpkin spice eclairs at your Halloween celebration!
