These are Religieuse and they are kind of fun. They are meant to represent Catholic nuns. The body and head are little puff pastries filled with espresso flavored pastry cream. There are many options for making the collar but we went with piping little stars of whipped butter around the neck. You would be hard pressed to find these in the US but they can be found in every bakery in France. After a hard day in Catholic school, the children apparently take great pleasure in running to the local bakery and biting the head off a cream filled nun. Payback.
