If you want to make cream puffs just pipe some dots like I did for the second batch. You can fill them with pastry cream, whipped cream or anything you like!
HOW LONG DO CHOCOLATE ECLAIRS LAST?
Eclairs are best when served within a few hours of assembly. If you have to they are still delicious the next day. Make sure to refrigerate them in a sealed or covered container.
You can make the shells and pastry cream a few days in advance and keep them in a sealed container at room temperature then fill and dip them before serving.
The pate a choux shells can be frozen and kept for 2 months before being thawed and filled.
