Heat the milk with vanilla, and whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and starch in a separate bowl.
Whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, return it to the pot, and cook for 6 minutes until thickened.
Cover the cream with plastic wrap touching the surface and chill for 2 hours.
Boil the water, butter, and salt, add the flour all at once, and cook for 3 minutes until the dough comes together.
Let the dough cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time until glossy.
Pipe the dough onto the tray in long strips.
Bake the shells at 190°C for 32 minutes, until puffed and dry.
Melt the chocolate with the cream to make a glaze.
Fill the shells with pastry cream, coat the tops with chocolate glaze, and rest for 20 minutes before serving.
💡 Tip: Do not open the oven door during the first 25 minutes; if steam escapes, the eclair shells collapse and struggle to hold the cream.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Once the chocolate glaze sets, serve on thin porcelain plates with Turkish coffee if desired.
