Questions about Eclair
How should you store éclairs?
Keep cream-filled éclairs covered in the fridge and eat them within two days; the pastry gradually softens as it absorbs moisture from the filling. Let one stand briefly at room temperature before serving for a less-chilled filling.
Can you freeze éclairs?
You can freeze filled éclairs in a sealed container, though the pastry may soften when thawed. Defrost them in the fridge and eat them the same day; for the crispest result, freeze unfilled choux shells and add the filling after thawing.
How do you fill an éclair without splitting it?
Make a small hole at each end of the cooled éclair and pipe in pastry cream through both openings until the shell feels heavier. If you only have one opening, pipe gently and stop when the filling begins to push back out.
Why do éclairs go soggy?
Moisture from the cream softens the choux shell, especially after several hours in the fridge. For a crisper éclair, fill it shortly before serving and avoid covering it while the pastry is still warm.
What goes well with an éclair?
Coffee is a classic match for a chocolate- or coffee-glazed éclair; tea also works well. Fresh berries can cut through the richness, while a plain éclair is often served as part of a selection of petits fours.
How is an éclair different from a cream puff?
Both are made from choux pastry, but éclairs are usually long and filled through the side or ends, then topped with icing. Cream puffs are round and are often split or filled through a small opening.
How much sugar is in an éclair?
A 100 g portion contains 19 g of sugars. Individual éclairs vary in size, so the amount in one depends on its weight and how much filling and icing it has.
