For the first April challenge from Baking with Dorie by Dorie Greenspan, I chose to make the chocolate eclairs. I've made pâte à choux many times, but this is the first time I've made a chocolate version.
We had a choice of fillings: pastry cream, whipped cream, or ice cream. I made a chocolate-flavored whipped cream, because I didn't have enough milk to make the pastry cream.
In a fit of whimsy, I decided to decorate the chocolate glaze, using some melted white chocolate and a toothpick. Clearly, I need more practice, but it was fun to try.
Stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see what the other bakers made this week.

ReplyDeleteOooh, they look pretty. I adore pastry cream but with the number of eggs required- not this time.
