Serve them slightly chilled for the best texture and flavor.
💡 Tips for Success
- Don’t underbake the choux shells — they should be golden and feel hollow when tapped.
- Make sure the custard is fully cooled before filling the éclairs to avoid soggy pastry.
- You can prepare the shells and filling a day in advance and assemble right before serving.
