Choux pastry (this is the basis of eclairs) has a unique property - it can be stored efficiently in any convenient way. In the refrigerator compartment, this dessert is wrapped in cling film and can be consumed for 5 days. They can also be stored in a food tray, tightly closed with a lid. Without any container, eclairs will soon become stale and dry out.

Outside the refrigeration device, custard cakes can be stored for no longer than 3 days. In this case, the dessert should be placed in an enamel bowl and covered with a towel.

It is advisable to start filling eclairs only before drinking tea.

They will be suitable in this state for 3 months, provided that the freezer has a blast freezing function, otherwise this term will be slightly shorter.
