Known to some of you as “choux pastry”, they are a family of dessert, big and small puffs, all made with the same dough base, which we call “Pâte a Choux”, pronounced “shoo.”
And what comes out from it? Well the possibilities are endless, but here are a few things you will learn in this class
- Choux a la crème (cream puff): the classic cream puff, filled with pastry cream
- Profiteroles: the choux is filled with vanilla whipped cream and covered with warm chocolate sauce
- Chouquettes: cute and simple little puff simply covered with crunchy sugar bits, a childhood fav!
- Eclairs: the long version of the choux, filled with pastry cream
This is a holiday special edition; we will decorate according to occasion, learn to use choux pastries to make savory canapes, and even make an eggnog pastry cream for filling!
You will get to pipe your own pastries, fill and decorate them before taking them home! Recipes will be provided during the class, to take home as well.
No baking experience? Worried it will be too difficult and you won’t be able to do it again at home? We promise this is an easy one to do at home, no expensive equipment, fancy oven and or uncommon ingredients are required, and Valentine’s techniques are fool proof, you can-do at home!
A savory welcome snack will be offered and a glass of sparkling wine (we recommend you plan eating dinner before or after the class as it is a desserts class!).
Hope to see you there!
