Black Croquembouche Recipe (Charcoal Profiterole Tower!)

It's time for the latest charcoal / black recipe and despite considering using squid ink, the potent smell put me off and I luckily had some activated charcoal leftover! Behold 'the dark chocolate choux pastry cream filled white chocolate drenched activated charcoal croquembouche' that actually ended up self saucing itself in white chocolate! This was such fun and a really fun challenge, of course the activated charcoal is optional but do give it a go :)
