詳細介紹
Pastry烤成的 Profiterolles,烤成的形狀像小籠包再小一些,外面鬆脆,裏面空洞,只是一陣風,十分輕盈。用噴嘴從底部噴入各種味道的鮮忌廉,就做成了這個稱為「忌廉一陣風」的點心了。這是傳統choux pastry製成品的變奏,必須承認,確實十分聰明。
傳統的choux pastry種類,最受歡迎的是eclairs(長條形、朱古力面、鮮忌廉或pastry cream餡)、cream puffs(圓形、糖霜面、鮮忌廉餡)和profiterolles(小型cream puff,外有朱古力脆皮,跟朱古力醬上)。
Cream puff跟profiterolles的主要分別是大小,前者有叉燒包大小,通常烤成之後剖開裝入鮮忌廉,甚至加上鮮果(例如草莓),因為剖開了,面上就只灑上糖霜。Profiterolles必須嬌小,小籠包的大小,所以不必剖開,從底部噴入忌廉即可,面上就能以溶解了的朱古力覆蓋,冷卻便成脆皮。節日慶典,可用幾十個profiterolles砌成塔形 Croquembouche,不用朱古力而用焦糖粘貼在一起,外罩糖絲「織」成的黃金絲網,賞心悅目又可口。
食用建議
|
|
| Prepare a styrofoam cone by spreading with royal icing or buttercream | |
|
Step 1 |
|
|
|
|
Place frozen cream puffs on a tray lined with a cooling rack. Using a wisk, quickly drizzle chocolate fondant onto pastries. Return cream puffs to freezer if necessary.
Note: DO NOT allow cream puffs to thaw completely | |
|
Step 2 |
|
|
|
|
Insert Wooden skewers in the top and side of cone to support the cone as you work. Insert a toothpick into base of cone and put a cream puff on top of it with the iced side facing outward. Repeat step, starting all around base area and building upward until you reach the top of the cone. | |
|
Step 3 |
|
|
|
| At this point you may store the croquembouche in the freezer until needed if the puffs have not thawed. To prepare for use/sale, sprinkle with powdered sugar, then transfer the cone to serving tray, using the skewers and spatula | |
|
Step 4 |
|
|
|
|
Decorate the croquembouche with seasonal greens, festive ribbons and ornaments.
Note: Croquembouche can be kept frozen indefinitely. If thawed, place in refrigerated cooler for up to 72 hours | |
|
Step 5 |
|
| Substitute plain fondant or caramel for the chocolate fondant, or omit the fondant (step2) and simply use powdered sugar. |
|
For a 13" cone you will need approximately 72 puffs.
For an 8" cone you will need approximately 36 puffs. |
