How To Make Homemade Chocolate Eclairs

These scrumptious snacks are particularly fantastic if you’re a creative person because you can shape and decorate them whatever you want. Everyone will be heading straight for the dessert table.
Even though these are great Homemade Chocolate Eclairs, they are not traditionally made with faux pastry.
You will be using the South African classic Tennis Biscuit as a base for your cream and chocolate toppings.
Instant vanilla pudding is made with instructions on the box and is super delicious. Your preparation takes a little while but is well worth it.
Refrigerating your chocolate eclairs makes sure that they are set well and don’t run all over the place, especially in South Africa.
