Eclairs with chocolate cream
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Éclairs with chocolate cream will become the most desirable treat on your festive table. I make the cream using instant coffee, cooking it until it thickens to the consistency of sour cream. By the way, this amazing chocolate cream can also be added to other desserts. I present to you the recipe for chocolate cream éclairs with photos. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
