The chocolate religieuse is one of the great classics of French pastry: two stacked choux pastries filled with smooth chocolate pastry cream, topped with a glossy glaze and joined by an elegant buttercream collar. An iconic silhouette born in Parisian pastry shops in the 19th century.
In this recipe, we guide you step by step: perfectly puffed choux pastry, intensely chocolatey cream, fondant icing, and careful assembly. The result is worthy of a pastry shop window, and the pride of serving it is priceless.
