I made these eclairs in two batches, one gluten-free and the other gluten-free and vegan. They were scrumptious and even my kids enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love the wide variety of recipes you have and can’t wait to try more of them.

[...] This recipe is from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody. Peabody says she adapted it from several sources: Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme by Dorie Greenspan, Baking at Home With the Culinary Institute of America, and The French Pastry Chef. It has been on my list for quite some time and I am glad I finally got around to making it. It has a large number of steps but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it all came together, so don’t be scared away by the directions. (No, run, run! Be afraid, be very afraid!). [...]

Just heavenly. I sell baked goods at a local green market and am always looking for unusual items that no one else makes. I thought these might be a good idea, but have a few questions though. Actually, just curious. I am a “why” kind of girl. Why do you use the chocolate sauce in the glaze as opposed to just using the glaze? Also, why do you add the diplomat cream to the pastry cream and not just use the chocolate pastry cream? Lastly, I note you say to serve immediately, but how long do you think they might hold until getting soggy? Many, many thanks.

These are stunning! Have never seen chocolate eclairs before (yes, it appears that I have been living under a rock) but methinks I’ll have to give these lovelies a shot the next time I need chocolatey goodness!
