How To: Make & decorate a chocolate drizzled croquemb

This video shows how easy it is to make a dessert known as a croquembouche, which is simply cream puffs stacked in a cone shape and glued together with a chocolate filling or ganache.

The ganache is made by heating heavy cream until it starts boiling and then mixing in some finely chopped chocolate. To assemble the croquembouche, put some ganache on the plate and place a layer of cream puffs in a circle to form the base. Then dip the cream puffs in the ganache and layer them until you have built up the cone. Finish by drizzling the ganache all over it, and the result is a very impressive looking dessert.
