A small, round French pastry ball made from choux dough and coated with pearl sugar, served as a petit four or snack.
From French chouquette, derived from 'chou' (choux dough, literally 'cabbage') plus the diminutive suffix '-quette,' referring to the small, ball-like shape of the pastry.
Chouquettes are what you get when a French pastry chef decided to make choux pastry even more delightful by rolling it in crunchy pearl sugar—they're basically tiny, bite-sized clouds that crunch!
