What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: type of pastry dough — choux pastry → laminated dough, type and size of pastry — eclair → croissant.

Shell: Choux pastry → Laminated doughType and size: Eclair → Croissant
  • The eclair combines lean choux pastry with a filling that is more than half water, for about 304 kcal per 100 g.
  • A croissant is the opposite: laminated dough is flour folded with butter, so even plain it reaches about 378 kcal per 100 g.
  • In these two examples, the cream-filled, chocolate-glazed pastry is lower in calories per gram than the plain croissant.
