Claire Saffitz, author of the new cookbook Dessert Person, is in the Munchies Test Kitchen making the Eiffel Tower of pastries: croquembouche. This celebratory dessert is perfect for the holiday season a tower of individual cream puffs coated in crunchy caramel. Claire breaks down each step of the croquembouche process, like making the cream puffs with choux pastry, topping them with craquelin, and filling them with a dark chocolate and creme fraiche cream. The individual puffs are dipped in caramel, assembled into a cone-shaped tower, and drizzled in caramel threads. The result is a pastry masterpiece

i had this at a wedding once when i was like 13 and was so obsessed with it. i had forgotten what the name was and was literally thinking about it just a few weeks ago when i saw profiteroles in the supermarket. amazing recipe, doesn't seem THAT complicated.

I would actually love for her to make this in her home kitchen bc I bought her book, and every recipe I ve tried has looked terrible, and I m talking chocolate chip cookies and rolls which shouldn t look bad. I think she s overhyped.

Pretty sure no one's gonna make this but if anyone dislikes a tang in their chocolate cream, replace the creme fraiche with whipped heavy cream. Does the same job of lightening the cream without adding sweetness.

Vice really making some moves out here. They managed to get clifford endo from Eater to their team and now they got Half-Sour Saffitz herself from Bon Appetit (prior) to come on the show.

11: 55 So, how do you know if you've filled it the right amount?
Remember back when Claire really under-filled her Gourmet Twinkies with cream filling? Look how far she's come!

How come she turned/switched the trays half way. I thought that with choux pastry you weren't supposed to open the oven until the very end when they're done. hmm.

They had a croquembouche on Good Mythical Morning like this week and I thought it looked incredible. Perfect timing for this video
