Eclairs are traditional French pâtisseries made of pâte à choux filled with crème pâtissière which can be flavoured with chocolate or coffee. Our éclairs are piped full of creamy coffee custard filling; not too sweet and with just the right amount of goodness, then glazed with coffee icing. Enjoy these coffee éclairs with a cup of coffee or tea.
