The assembling of the Croquembouche.
50 to 60 profiteroles in a conical formation, drizzled with delectably dark chocolate and filled with french crème patissière (custard with whipped cream folded through)!
You can buy pre-made profiteroles (puffs) from most super markets or simply make them yourself.

  • ill just take from the bottom =D

  • Heck yes, dude!

    

  • A croquembouche is supposed to be filled with creme patissiere, if its filled with cream it has a tendency to go a bit soggy. it is then usually glued together with white chocolate and then covered with threads of caramel. Give the guy a break he does say its a chocolate version and it still looks yummy!!

  • Hi sticky. Thanks mate. Sure was yummy!

    There are all sorts of versions of these. Just this one isnt a traditional French version.

    Thanks.

    Hec.

  • Hi dude. Fair enough. Chantilly cream would be nice. Here in Australia, we do the Traditional like you suggested but we also fill with Creme Pattissierre etc depending on what is requested. I have also done the toffee (Caramel) and the chocolate together and it comes up very nice. I prefer the profiteroles well dried (in the oven) as it helps to stabilise when assembling. The cream softens them eventually. Thanks for your imput, dude and take care.

  • Om nom nom nom. ♥
