How Do You Assemble A Croquembouche?
• Make the choux pastry puffs according to your recipe. Pipe the vanilla pastry cream inside each puff. Loading… • Make a cone. Cover it in wax paper. You might be able to purchase these from cake decorating suppliers if preferred. • Melt chocolate and have this sitting in a bowl next to your building project. Dip each choux pastry puff in melted chocolate. • Start at the base of the cone and work around the base first. Attach each choux pastry puff to the cone using a toothpick. Stick each toothpick in all the way. Sometimes the toothpicks are really hard to push in; don’t worry about that because at the very end you will push them all in with a thimble on your finger. • Use the melted chocolate to “cement” the puffs together. • Work your way in rows up to the top of the cone. Pin the top puff to the cone from the top angle, rather than from the side. Use a thimble to press in all the toothpicks to the assembled choux puffs. You’re done; the croquembouche is ready to be served. Load
