An éclair is a pastry made with choux dough filled with a cream and topped with icing. Eclairs originiated in France in the 19th century, but many Italians have adopted this pastry and have added them to their dessert menus. Once the dough (butter, milk, and water) is made, it is baked and then cooled down. The pastry is then filled with a pastry cream such as custard, whipped cream or chocolate. For some reason our ecalirs did not puff correctly, but they still tasted good. We filled them with regular cream and chocolate cream. Yummmmm.
Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert. It is made of lady finger cookies, dipped in coffee, layered with whipped egg yolks and mascarpone, and flavored with cocoa and liquor.
