Sometimes I just don't want to bake. Don’t get me wrong- I LOVE baking. But summertime, without air conditioning,  is just not conducive to baking. And why bake when I can have NO BAKE eclairs that taste just like baked ones?!

And that's what makes these Mini Strawberry Tiramisu Eclairs the ultimate summer snack! Ready in 20 minutes, these NO BAKE "Cheater Éclairs" taste just like eclairs but without the baking, making them perfect for a last minute potluck dessert or bake sale.

Have you ever had a last minute request from the kids that you need something for a bake sale tomorrow?! Well, I have. And the DAY BEFORE a bake sale is precisely the day that I don’t have time for actual baking.

🥘 Ingredients

Made with mini croissants, whipped cream, strawberries, an easy tiramisu filling and semisweet chocolate, this quick and easy mini eclair recipe,  also known as Cheater Éclairs, are the perfect solution to your last minute bake sale dilemma. You can easily make them last minute because they take a total of 20 minutes and only have 6 ingredients!

These eclairs are the best because they are so easy but look like you bought them at a bakery! I once brought these to a potluck at work and to avoid waste, I left them in the original plastic containers the croissants come in from the grocery store.

After the potluck my colleague asked me what I brought and when I told her, she was disappointed because she didn't try one. She thought they weren’t homemade because I had them in the plastic container from the store and said she would have had one had she known they were my homemade eclairs.

These Strawberry Eclairs are not only the perfect snack size, but they are perfect for little hands!

So if you want the taste of eclairs without the fuss of actually baking them, then give these Cheater Éclairs a try. But a word of advice, don’t leave them in the plastic store containers or people won't think they are homemade!

Strawberries are the perfect summer fruit for these eclairs because strawberry season never ends! Strawberries are grown all year long in some parts of the United States, so fortunately, we have an endless supply of fresh strawberries in US and Canadian grocery stores. So, if you're looking for a strawberry eclair, gives these ones a try!

Notes

*Note: Ideally, you'll want to use real whipping cream and whip it to stiff peaks, then sweeten to your liking. However, you can use a spray can of whipped cream. Just note that it must be served immediately or it will start to melt!

    These are absolutely delicious. My son couldn’t get enough. He really loved the chocolate touch inside with the strawberries and whipped cream. These would definitely be a hit at any family gathering, office potluck, or school bake sale. Great recipe.
