Éclair with custard or chocolate

A classic French pastry: tender choux pastry with a rich cream filling. Choose between traditional custard or chocolate.

What Does It Taste Like?

The choux pastry shell is almost unsweetened and very light—it’s hollow inside. The cream is thick and creamy, and it’s what gives the pastry its flavor. The chocolate version is richer and has a slight cocoa bitterness, while the classic version is milder and more delicate.

When to enjoy them

With coffee, at a buffet, in a gift set, for office parties, on a holiday table, or as a snack. It’s convenient to buy eclairs in a set—several flavors at once.

Size and Weight

Sold individually; one pastry weighs approximately 100 g. Price: 95 UAH.

The History of the Éclair

The name of this pastry translates from French as “flash” or “lightning,” and there is still no convincing explanation for it.

Three Versions of One Name

The first and most popular: an éclair is eaten so quickly that it takes the time of a flash of lightning. The second: the glaze on the surface glistens and reflects light. The third, most prosaic: the choux pastry cracks lengthwise as it bakes—and the crack resembles a flash of lightning.

Carême and the Shape

The creation of the éclair in its modern form is attributed to Marie-Antoine Carême—an early 19th-century pastry chef who standardized most classic French desserts. Before him, choux pastry was used mainly to make round profiteroles; the elongated shape appeared at that time.

The first printed recipes under the name “éclair” appeared in French cookbooks in the 1860s, and in English-language ones in 1884.

Dough That Rises with Steam

Choux pastry contains neither yeast nor baking powder. The flour is cooked in a hot mixture of water and butter, then eggs are stirred in. In the oven, the moisture inside turns into steam and puffs up the dough from within, while the egg whites help it hold its shape. That’s why a cavity forms inside the éclair—and that’s what gets filled with cream.
