L’\u00e9clair de chocolate is a delicious individual cake, of French origin, which combines the softness of lioness dough or “choux”, with a creamy chocolate filling.<\/p>\n
Lioness dough is a light, airy dough made with flour, butter, water and eggs. This dough is injected with a pastry hose to create the desired elongated shape. Then bake until you get a crunchy texture on the outside and a tender and light interior. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, the filling of creamy chocolate, we get it as follows: we mix milk, eggs, sugar, wheat flour and Valrhona chocolate. We cook everything until we get a smooth and creamy texture. Once everything is well emulsified, it is injected into the \u00e9clairs providing an intense chocolate flavor and not extremely sweet. Very exquisite. <\/p>\n
Finally, a touch of vital importance: frosting. Cover the top of the \u00e9clairs with a layer of chocolate frosting, which will solidify with the temperature contrast. It will give us the desired sweetness and shine. <\/p>\n
Chocolate \u00e9clair is an exquisite resource to wet with a coffee or tea. For breakfast or snack, it is a very revered pastry item little offered in the city of Barcelona. <\/p>\n
