A refreshing twist on a French classic, these airy éclairs are filled with silky dairy-free honeydew custard and topped with a glossy melon glaze for a light, fruity indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

For the choux pastry:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free margarine or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs

For the honeydew filling:

  • 2 cups fresh honeydew melon, pureed
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • 1/2 cup honeydew puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water, dairy-free margarine, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
  3. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and beat in eggs one at a time until smooth.
  4. Pipe dough into 4-inch strips on the baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Cool completely.
  5. For the filling, combine honeydew puree, coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Chill until cool.
  6. Slice éclairs in half lengthwise and fill with honeydew custard.
