Croquembouche
Croquembouche is a traditional French dessert made with choux pastry balls piled into a cone shape and held together with caramel. It’s often served at special occasions like weddings and holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and add flour. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time until smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe small balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
