2. Melt the white couverture and pour the hot mixture over it. Mix and refrigerate 12 hours before use.
Candied Oranges
Bring the water and sugar to the boil, drop the orange peels in and simmer for 40 minutes. Store in cold syrup.
Assembly and Finish
1. Make the icing the day before and keep it in the fridge.
The same day, start by preparing the cream. Refrigerate it.

4. Drain the candied oranges and cut them into cubes. Arrange them on the éclairs.
