Our wonderful pre-made choux puffs make it easy to whip up a luxurious dessert centrepiece. In this cheat’s take on a croquembouche, we’ve paired festive orange and chocolate with our house-made sticky butterscotch for finger-licking, messy goodness.
375ml cream
Grated zest of 1 orange
3 Tbsp icing sugar
⅓ cup Farro chocolate sauce
2 packets Janus Bakkerij Profiteroles
1 jar Farro butterscotch and brandy sauce
Combine the cream, orange zest, icing sugar, and chocolate sauce together in a bowl and whisk with an electric beater until lightly thickened. Put into a piping bag fitted with a small round nozzle.
Make a hole in the bottom of each choux puff (a skewer or chopstick is good for this) and pipe in the filling. Alternatively, cut across horizontally about ¾ of the way through each choux and spoon in the filling. Pile them up on a platter and drizzle over the butterscotch sauce.
Cook’s Tip: These handy choux puffs work just as well with savoury flavours. Try filling them with a creamy soft cheese and smoked salmon for an easy, elegant canapé.
