Chocolate Cremeux Homemade Recipe – that will become your go-to every time you need a creamy chocolate Cremeux.
Back in the day when we were pastry chefs, we would make a fresh batch of chocolate Cremeux daily.
We used it mainly to fill doughnuts with us or to sandwich cookies together.
Knowing how to make chocolate Cremeux is a must for anyone who likes making desserts or is training to be a pastry chef.
What Is The Difference Between Cremeux And Mousse?
Believe it or not, Cremeux actually means “creamy” in French. Mousse is a light foam, often incorporated with whipped cream.
Chocolate Cremeux has more body to it, and it’s also a lot smoother than chocolate mousse. The mousse has a lot of air in it, so that is what chocolate Cremeux lacks, the airy structure.
They are both used for different reasons, the chocolate mousse is often used as a dessert, the main dessert type, whilst the chocolate Cremeux is used to accompany dessert, for example, filling doughnuts.
What Is The Difference Between Cremeux And Ganache?
Chocolate Cremeux is a lot richer and smoother than ganache. The ganache is typically quite hard once it cools, especially if left in the fridge, and is typically used to fill/cover cakes, ice cupcakes, topping for baked bars like brownies, make truffles, etc.
Our favorite thing to do with ganache has to be chocolate truffles. The easiest-ever chocolate truffles are made using solid chocolate ganache. You just roll balls out of the ganache, then you can roll them in extra stuff, like coconut flakes, and extra chocolate flakes, and tip them into white chocolate or biscoff…Just super easy and delicious.
What Do You Use Cremeux For?
There are many, many things that chocolate Cremeux can be used for. Filling cakes, doughnuts, cookies, decorating cakes. You can also quenelle onto your cakes and dessert for an elegant chocolatey touch. Or just eat it by the spoon? The options are endless.
Chocolate Cremeux Recipe:
What is Cremeux made of? – Let’s find out!
You will need:
1. Milk
2. Double Cream
3. Egg Yolks
4. Sugar
5. Chocolate Chips
We noticed that a lot of people use corn starch when they make their chocolate Cremeux, which we don’t think is necessary. the egg yolks and the fat in the chocolate and cream are what will make the Cremeux thicken. (you can see a quick video of the recipe here)
-
In a deep bowl, add the chocolate chips.
-
Using a deep pot, add the double cream and milk and bring it to a simmer, then take it off the heat.
-
Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. (use an egg separator to make it easier to separate the yolks and whites)
-
Slowly pour the hot milk/cream mixture into the egg bowl whisking constantly.
-
Pour the whisked eggs with milk and cream back into the pot, and cook on low heat whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly.
-
Once you notice it’s thicking up, pour the thick-ish mixture onto your chocolate bowl using a sieve to catch all the lumps.
-
Mix well, then let the chocolate cremeux cool completely.
