About

Choux à la crème is the pâtisserie shop version of the popular dessert, profiteroles. The idea for this pâtisserie came from the larger and more elaborately decorated sweet croquembouche, creating an individual version available to enjoy not only at celebrations, but every day. Choux à la crème is traditionally filled with crème pâtissière and crème Chantilly. The recipes for these basic components can be adapted to create a variety of different flavour combinations.
