8.  Whisk together protein powder, coconut cream, and maple syrup until smooth.

9. In a separate bowl, mash raspberries completely until there are no lumps.

10. When éclair puffs cool, use a serrated knife to cut each one in half, horizontally, so there is a flat half and a rounded half.

11. Drop a small amount of cream then mashed raspberries on each of the flat pieces.

12. Melt white chocolate and spoon about a teaspoon on top each of the rounded pieces.
