In North Beach, MD there is a little bakery that makes a giant eclair. When my parents come for a visit we always go down to the bakery and my dad always gets that giant eclair. Can’t blame him. It is pretty awesome. If you are traveling through Maryland and find yourself in North Beach stop in Sweet Sue’s Bakery. You won’t regret it. Since they had done the Giant Eclair it had me wanting to do a unique eclair.

Nothing says love like coffee. Well in our house it does. Coffee flavors gave inspiration to my eclairs and the Coffee Cream filled Eclairs with Kahlua Chocolate Glaze was born. A puffed pastry filled with coffee whipped cream then topped with melted chocolate with a shot of Kahlua.

Believe me when I tell you these things are so freaking good. Like, the best dessert I have ever made! Seriously!

You can not double this recipe. I have tried and it just wasn’t the same. You can’t mess with a good thing by wanting more. I also want to point out that the Kahlua chocolate glaze is great on ice cream. It actually probably tastes great on anything.
