Religieuse au chocolat

We’re jumping right into choux pastry this year and learning how to make chocolate religieuse! Choux pastry was invented in 1540 by Popelini, the florentine chef of Catherine de Medici. What are Religieuse? They are a pastry consisting of two choux cases of slightly different sizes. Each choux puff is filled with pastry cream & topped glazed with a ganache before being stacked before finally piped with some buttercream decorations. Generally, the most common flavors are chocolate or coffee, but now days you can find quite a few different flavors around large cities such as Paris or Lyon.

In this chocolate religieuse class we’ll cover-

  • We will cover how to make choux pastry that can be used for endless desserts!
  • How to make pastry cream (and infuse with different flavors)
  • How to make a chocolate ganache
  • How to fill, glaze and assemble
  • Tips ‘n’ tricks that can be used again & again
