I received this Chocolate Eclair Dessert Recipe several decades ago when I was still working at Corporate America.
The lady that shared this dessert recipe with me has long since dropped out of my life and probably gone on to make her version of this recipe about a million times.
I still have the copy of the recipe that she typed up and shared and it is quite yellowed with age.
This decadent Chocolate Eclair Dessert Recipe is in my stack of treasured recipes that I want to share with everyone here so that my copy will never be lost and you get to enjoy it too!
