Steps to Prepare Éclair with Strawberry Cream and White Chocolate Topping:

Preparing the dough:

1. Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it melts, then add the water.
2. Add the flour, sugar, and salt, stirring the mixture until well combined.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
4. Gradually add the eggs one by one, stirring continuously after each addition until the mixture is smooth. Place the mixture into a large piping bag.
5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pipe the dough into 7 cm long eclairs, leaving about 3 cm of space between each.
6. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Once heated, bake the eclairs for about 20 minutes until they turn golden brown.
7. Remove the tray from the oven and let the eclairs cool completely.

Preparing the strawberry cream:

1. Blend the sliced strawberries in a food processor until smooth.
2. Add the whipping cream to the strawberry mixture and continue mixing on medium speed.
3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until the cream thickens and is well combined.

Repeat the process until all the éclairs are filled.

Preparing the white chocolate topping:

1. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler (a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water).
2. Dip the top of each éclair into the melted white chocolate.

Let the éclairs sit for about 15 minutes until the chocolate sets. Your Éclair with Strawberry Cream and White Chocolate Topping is now ready to be served! Enjoy this delicious dessert with your family or guests, and bon appétit!
