Strawberry Vanilla Custard Cream Eclairs

I love choux pastries. They don't make u feel sick even when u eat a lot. I don't know about you, but I don't.
Maybe if they are filled with whipping cream they will, but not with custard creams, they are much lighter.

I made these eclairs with my usual choux recipe.
And I filled them with strawberry slices and real vanilla bean custard cream. Simply divine.
Can you believe that this is my first time using the real thing??? It's so good, but it leave the custard with specks of black dust, but that's ok, cos it shows that it's the real thing.
