The video below is one of my favorite episode of Laura Calder's French Food at Home. I watched it again today then suddenly remember the Croquembouche in my draft that I forgot to post. This was my very 1st croquembouche that's why It's not perfect yet. You can see the gap all over plus I did not dip the whole choux in sugar syrup like Laura did. But yes! Pieter, Coco and I enjoyed it haha it's like we are plucking fruits from a tree and pop it straight in our mouth.
Laura made 3 desserts in this episode: Coffee eclairs, Profiteroles with chocolate sauce and Croquembouche. Even though I half the ingredients I still had leftover. So the next day I made savory ones. Cherry tomato, cream cheese and smoked salmon filled profiteroles.
For the Choux Pastry recipe please check here. Omit vanilla if you are going to make savory profiteroles.
