Don't let sweets derail your low carb diet. These Low Carb Chocolate Eclairs are the perfect tasty dessert to keep you on track!

Pastry

3 Eggs – room temperature
2 1/2 oz. Cream Cheese (1/2 cup + 1/8 cup)
1/8 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1/8 teaspoon Salt

Filling

2 oz. Whippng Cream
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup Cream Cheese

Chocolate Layer

6 squares 90% dark Chocolate

Pastry

Preheat oven to 355F
Separate Eggs into two bowls
Add the Cream Cheese to the Yolks – mix until smooth and lump free
Add the salt and Cream of Tartar to the white and beat until stiff
Gently fold the Yolk mix into the whites. Be very gentle and fold the mix over, you want to keep all the light fluffy air – Do not beat!!!
Spoon or scoop gently into greased muffin pans (24 -30) – I like these ones with the rounded bottoms. Dont panic if some of the mix near the end is a bit runnier – use it anyway.
Get them straight into the oven for 15 mins
Turn oven down to 300F for another 15 mins
Remove from pan (I do this by running a teaspoon around and under) then flip upside down to cool

Filling

Beat all together until smooth, creamy and can hold its shape
Spoon gently into a piping bag fitted with the longest nozzle you have
Make a small slit in the side of each puff, insert piping nozzle well in, squeeze bag gently until you feel the puffs round out a bit.
Place upside down so the nice, even shaped bottoms become the tops.

Chocolate Layer

Melt by your preferred method and dribble over the Puffs
