Croquembouche is actually just profiteroles assembled as a cone. I've done profiteroles before but I had never assembled them. I really wanted to make this so here it is :) Last week I tried to make them but everything turned out to be just so wrong. The choux pastries wouldn't rise well and I messed up the filling cream. I was so sad that I threw everything away. Well this time I asked my sister to assist me during the whole thing. I used her recipe too which was actually quite the same with the profiteroles that I've done before. This time I didn't make them in a hurry. I took as much time as I needed. I gave enough time for the cream to cool and I baked the profiteroles just well. The only problem with these profiteroles was that they were not as crunchy as I thought they would be. I used melted chocolate as the "glue" to hold the profiteroles together.
Today, which is May 15th is my friend's birthday : Gonk. So I might as well dedicate this croquembouche to her. Happy birthday, Gonk!
