Reminiscent of the classic French pastry, this Eclair Pie is a beautiful yet deliciously uncomplicated dessert. It starts off with a crisp pâte sablée pastry shell, filled with a stunning vanilla pastry cream, and it's finished off with a dark chocolate ganache top. The decorative design is totally optional but pretty simple to achieve.
