Best Chocolate Eclair Recipe
Traditional French éclairs are exquisitely shaped oblong pastries made from choux pastry filled with pastry cream and frosted with chocolate icing. But making them from scratch can be a challenge — which is why most of us turn to bakeries when we want to indulge in rich fluffy creamy éclairs. Luckily there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the éclair experience without requiring much baking skill: simply try them in a different form like no-bake éclair cake miniature éclairs or cream choux cake . These desserts still capture the texture and flavor we love about éclairs without having to go all the way to the real thing. Satisfy that chocolate and cream craving by indulging in one of these easy éclair or éclair-inspired desserts
If you love caramel apples you’ll definitely want to stock up on the ingredients for this caramel apple éclair cake. The flavor and texture are more complex than a regular no-bake éclair cake thanks to the addition of apples (or apple pie filling) and cinnamon. The caramel apple dip on top helps keep everything together without being overwhelming.
These chocolate-dipped choux pastry creams are essentially a smaller simpler version of éclairs; they look impressive but are surprisingly simple. The choux pastry is piped into small mounds rather than long strips and the cream filling is sweetened whipped cream rather than pastry cream. Try not to rush any of the steps especially the cooling period or the pastry will be ruined.
