Chocolate eclairs are a delightful French pastry made from choux dough, which is light, airy, and crisp. They are typically filled with a smooth, creamy filling, often made from pastry cream (crème pâtissière), and topped with a glossy layer of rich, dark chocolate ganache. The eclair’s shape is long and rectangular, and its light, crispy texture contrasts beautifully with the velvety interior. The pastry’s combination of crunchy exterior, creamy filling, and decadent chocolate topping makes it a popular treat in many patisseries around the world. The eclair is often enjoyed as a dessert or afternoon snack with coffee or tea.
