The other day i was hungry for eclairs , without the chocolate ganache . For some reason , the ganache makes it too rich , although , you’ve seen eclairs that are sold in the bakery usually are covered with chocolate ganache . I prefer the ones without the ganache . The pate a choux itself is already yummy , the vanilla cream is sweet enough and it’s just perfect that way . For the recipe please refer to here . The choux pastry itself is very versatile because depending on the fillings , you can serve it as a snack , appetizer or dessert .
