I look forward to the Summer range every year by M&S. This year, they seem to be focusing on a blackcurrant and Strawberry theme in their range of Summer desserts and sweet treats.
These blackcurrant eclairs are filled with a blackcurrant mousse instead of the traditional cream filling, and is then topped with a beautiful blackcurrant and white chocolate fondant glaze.
These eclairs were really, really nice. The blackcurrant mousse actually tasted of fresh, tangy blackcurrants, the choux pastry was lovely and light and the fondant glaze was lovely and sweet. The tanginess of the blackcurrant filling and the sweet fondant glaze worked really well to balance out the flavours. The blackcurrant mousse had the perfect amount of tanginess without being too sharp.
A beautiful summer treat, I really recommend these.

Agree absolutely. But don't seem to be available in West London according to my friend in Chiswick. Plentiful in Muswell Hill thank goodness.
