Paris French Eclair and Choux Pastry Dessert Class

The word comes from French éclair ‘flash of lightning’, so named because it is eaten quickly (in a flash).

In this 2.30-hours course (this is what deserves such a beloved French specialty), you’ll discover all the meticulous details that go into making choux pastry, from prepping to baking. You’ll learn how to work with a pastry bag and create garnishes and fillings like classic vanilla, pistachio, coffee or chocolate-flavoured pastry cream “crème pâtissière”. You’ll learn how to glaze your eclairs with fondant icing. And as choux dough offers a very broad palette of specialties you’ll also do some “chouquettes” and some individual “petits choux garnis”.

With the help of our Chef, you’ll perform all the steps. At the end of the course, if you haven’t enjoyed your creations on the spot, you may take them with you.

Enjoy a 2.5 hours course to discover all the meticulous details that go into making choux pastry. Offering a world of dazzling taste sensations that you will be able to prepare after this course, such as eclairs, profiteroles, Saint-Honoré, Paris-Brest, chouquettes (sugar-topped cream puffs), and Chantilly cream filled puffs, or even savory choux filled with cream cheese, chive, salmon, and more.
