Place the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and pipe the éclairs or profiteroles onto baking sheets lined with non stick paper. Bake for 30 minutes at 190`c without opening the oven door. Remove and allow to cool down completely. Dip the éclairs in a glace icing made with the icing sugar, water and a few drops of yellow colouring and allow to set. When set, cut in half. Whip the cream to soft peaks then fold in the lemon curd and lemon zest. Use to fill the éclairs, place on the glazed top and serve chilled.
