One of my favorite desserts is eclairs! They aren’t too hard to make but do take some time. Well, today I have a cheater way for you to make some eclairs.
They only take 5 ingredients to make with one of them being mini croissants. It gives you a similar result for the shell of the eclair without the work.
The recipe does make 24 eclairs but the recipe can be easily cut in half if needed. These would be a great Valentine treat!
