A croquembouche is a traditional French dessert made of choux pastry balls, known as profiteroles, that are filled with cream and stacked into a tall, cone-shaped structure. The entire creation is often coated with caramel, which hardens to hold the pastry balls together. This dessert is commonly served at weddings, baptisms, and other celebrations in France. The name "croquembouche" translates to "crunch in the mouth," reflecting the crispy caramel exterior. It is typically decorated with spun sugar or edible flowers, adding to its visual appeal. This dessert is a centerpiece that showcases both culinary skill and artistry, making it a popular choice for festive occasions.
