Classic Chocolate Eclairs

ADVERTISEMENT

Serving: Serve the eclairs immediately after filling and topping with ganache for the best texture.

Storage: Store any leftover eclairs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The pastry may soften over time, but they’ll still be delicious.

Variations:

Filling Variation: Instead of whipped cream, you can use vanilla pastry cream for a more traditional filling.

Chocolate Variation: You can drizzle white chocolate or even sprinkle crushed nuts on top of the ganache for added texture.

FAQ:

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.

What should I do if the eclairs don’t puff up?
If the eclairs don’t puff, it may be due to not having enough moisture in the dough or the oven temperature being too low. Make sure to preheat the oven properly.
