Chocolate Éclair – Éclair, a French pastry, is like the challenge of making macarons. Unlike macarons, it’s crispy in the outside and hollow in the inside. It’s a true delight with custard cream fillings inside, usually top with chocolate ganache. If you follow the steps closely, it’s actually much easier to make these compared to macarons. I do understand it’s lockdown period now, but it comprised of daily used ingredients, I am sure you will have them at home. I hope you’re inspired to make these beautiful éclair. Enjoy!
