Salted caramel chocolate éclair
Callebaut chef Alexandre Bourdeaux is a master in giving a modern twist to classic French pastry. For this recipe he took the éclair and transformed the iconic piece of choux pastry into a delightfully intense taste sensation. Baked to perfection, filled with a luscious duo of intense dark chocolate custard and salted caramel crémeux, and finished off with a layer of ready-to-use Creme dell'Artigiano Fondente and a handful of dark chocolate ChocRocks™, this petite duchesse is now a paragon of distinguished grandeur.
