Religieuse

Stacked chocolate-glazed choux pastries with piped cream decoration.
Religieuse

A religieuse is assembled from two round choux buns of different sizes, filled with pastry cream and topped with icing. The smaller bun rests on the larger one. A piped collar of buttercream joins the two buns; vanilla or coffee can flavour this decoration.[1]

In a chocolate preparation, dark chocolate is mixed into the hot pastry cream, which is cooled before being piped into the buns. Chocolate-flavoured fondant coats their tops. The buns are glazed separately before the collar and smaller bun are added, and the finished pastry is kept chilled until serving.[1]
