The perfect afternoon treat Chocolate Eclairs,

Is there anything better in life than a mid-afternoon indulgent snack that you know you shouldn’t be eating but you just can’t resist? I didn’t think so; after all, let’s face it we are all sweet addicts here. A few days ago I had a surplus of cream and was looking for ideas of what to do with it, I hate the idea of food waste, especially something as yummy as cream. My sister came up with the idea of making Chocolate Eclairs.

Now I’m up for most things but I hadn’t made choux pastry before so I thought why not, I’ll give most things a go. I was a little worried as I have heard and read real horror stories about attempted choux pastry and I was worried about the dreaded kitchen fail!!! But nothing ventured nothing gained. And this is what I came up with.















Even if I say so my self these were delicious. The pastry was light, fluffy and crispy all at the same time. Now traditionally the filling should be a crème anglaise but as I said before I had cream I needed to use up so I just lightly whipped the double (heavy) cream I had and it was lovely. Then topped it with a nice bit of chocolate.
