    Tips for making a chocolate eclair cake:

    • Make sure the puff pastry is cooled before you spread the pudding on top. If it is too hot, the pudding will start to get runny.
    • Don’t want canned frosting? You can heat chocolate chips with a little milk to make your own ganache.
    • Want to go all out chocolate? Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla. Yum!
