An éclair is a popular French pastry made from choux dough, which is light and airy. It is typically filled with cream, such as pastry cream or whipped cream, and is often topped with a layer of chocolate icing. The shape of an éclair is long and slender, resembling a small log. Éclairs are enjoyed in many countries and can be found in various flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, and coffee. They are often served as a dessert or a sweet treat during special occasions. The combination of the crisp outer shell and the creamy filling makes them a favorite among pastry lovers.
