This is the most delicious tree you will adorn this year! A profiterole tree made of choux, stuffed with cheesecake cream and “glued” with hazelnut cream.
Click on the link right here to get my recipe for homemade choux. I’ll give you two very simple and quick recipes for both creams that you will need, one based on hazelnut praline and the other one on cream cheese.
