Raspberry Lemon Eclairs

The classic eclair originates from France. Who better to make these fantastic eclairs than our pastry chef Michel Willaume? A crispy baked choux pastry filled with a raspberry lemon cream, topped with jelly made from raspberries. Our new chocolate decorations, the Chocolate Raspberry and Chocolate lemon lid, not only provide a finishing touch and extra volume to this beautiful pastry but also indicate the key flavors.
