Chocolate Éclair Recipe | Classic French Pastry Step-by-Step

In this video I’ll show you how to make a classic Chocolate Éclair – one of the most iconic French pastries. We start with perfectly baked choux pastry, prepare a smooth and rich pastry cream, and finish the éclair with a glossy dark chocolate glaze. As a professional pastry chef, I’ll guide you step by step through the techniques that make éclairs light, hollow, and beautifully filled. Ingredients Choux Pastry (Éclair Dough) • 80 g milk (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) • 80 g water (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) • 60 g butter (4 tbsp) • 15 g sugar (1 tbsp) • 2 g salt (¼ tsp) • 100 g high gluten flour (¾ cup) • 2 eggs ⸻ Chocolate Pastry Cream • 500 g milk (2 cups) • 5 egg yolks • 80 g sugar (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) • 2 g salt (¼ tsp) • 50 g dark chocolate (1.8 oz) • 30 g cocoa powder (¼ cup) • 28 g cornstarch (3 tbsp) • 40 g butter (3 tbsp) ⸻ Chocolate Glaze • 200 g dark chocolate (7 oz) • 280 g heavy cream (1¼ cups) • 40 g glucose syrup (2 tbsp) • 40 g butter (3 tbsp) • 10 g cocoa butter (2 tsp) • 1 g salt (⅛ tsp) ⸻ Baking the Éclairs Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
