Strawberry Cheesecake Éclairs

With a no-bake cheesecake custard layered on top of a sweet homemade strawberry filling, these individual treats are much easier to serve than traditional cheesecake and don’t take as long to make.

Makes 12 éclairs

1 cup heavy cream

1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/8 tsp. table salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Simple Pâte à Choux

(éclairs)

Strawberry Filling

Powdered sugar

1. Place cream in a large bowl. Beat at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Combine cream cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a separate medium bowl. Beat until smooth. Gradually fold in whipped cream.

2. Cut top one-third off of each éclair. Spoon Strawberry Filling onto bottoms. Spoon or pipe whipped cream mixture on top of Strawberry Filling; replace tops. Chill until ready to serve. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Strawberry Filling: Sprinkle 1 tsp. unflavored gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water in a small saucepan; let stand 1 minute. Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves (about 2 minutes). Stir in 11/2 cups diced fresh strawberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp. orange zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries are softened, about 5 minutes. Let stand 30 minutes; chill 4 to 24 hours.
