Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.\n</li><li>Remove the dough from heat and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Let it cool for a few minutes.\n</li><li>Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.\n</li><li>Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 4-inch strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each eclair.\n</li><li>Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eclairs are puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.\n</li><li>While the eclairs are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.\n</li><li>Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.\n</li><li>Once the eclairs are cooled, use a sharp knife to make a small slit in the side of each eclair. Pipe the whipped cream into the eclairs until they are filled.\n</li><li>To make the chocolate glaze, combine chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.\n</li><li>Dip the top of each eclair into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
