Description
The soaring and beautiful pastry confection known as a croquembouche or croque en bouche is a French dessert often served at weddings, baptisms, communions, and many other special celebrations. The sweet, crisp pastries are composed of many small choux filled with cream and are towered one on top of the other and glued with sugar caramel until an impressive cone of pastries becomes the finished dessert. Sugared almonds decorate our recipe, but modern versions are often made with creative pastry cream flavors and then ornated with flowers, sugar art, or melted chocolate. Its French name means "crunch in the mouth," a good summary of what it feels like to bite into a piece of this dessert. Join our pastry chefs for this very special holiday class.
