INSTRUCTIONS
Dark Chocolate Truffle Filling:
- Add the dark chocolate and cream to a microwave-safe bowl.

- Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate.
- Stir until smooth and lump-free.
- Cover with cling wrap, ensuring it touches the surface.
- Refrigerate overnight or until well chilled.
- Remove the cling wrap and beat with an electric mixer until thick and stiff peaks form.
Assembly:
- Fit a piping bag with a plain tip and fill with the thickened ganache.
- Pipe two rows of ganache kisses along the length of a ladyfinger to cover the surface.
- Place another sponge finger biscuit on top and press gently.
- Fit another piping bag with a Wilton 104 piping tip and fill with the white chocolate mousse.
- Pipe a zigzag pattern along the length of the ladyfinger.
- Garnish with grated chocolate.
- Keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
NOTES
- Ensure the ganache is thick enough to pipe by refrigerating and stirring regularly.
- Make the white chocolate mousse a day ahead to allow proper chilling.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the chocolate for smoother melting.
- Store eclairs in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
