Chocolate Croissant Class in Philadelphia: Buttery, Flaky, and Pure Indulgence
Step into the world of French viennoiserie at L'Atelier in Manayunk, and learn the art of the iconic chocolate croissant, known in France as the pain au chocolat. In this hands-on baking class, you'll make them from start to finish, from the first fold of the dough to the moment the chocolate begins to melt in the oven.
Few pastries reward patience quite like this one. Together, we'll show you how precise technique turns flour, butter, and chocolate into delicate, flaky layers wrapped around a rich, molten center.
What You'll Learn in Our Chocolate Croissant Class
The dough. Discover how fermentation builds flavor and structure, and why the right flour makes all the difference.
The lamination. Practice the folds that create those signature flaky, airy layers, and learn to keep your butter at just the right temperature so every layer stays distinct.
The shaping and filling. Learn how to cut, fill, and roll your dough so the chocolate stays perfectly centered and the pastry bakes evenly.
The final rise. Master the proof that gives your pains au chocolat their light, honeycomb interior.
The bake. Bake to a crisp, deeply golden crust and a tender, buttery crumb, with chocolate melting at the heart of every bite.
You'll also leave with practical tips for recreating these pastries in your own kitchen, so you can bake authentic French chocolate croissants at home with confidence.
Included with Your Class
A welcome drink and a selection of French treats to enjoy while you bake.
Your own freshly baked chocolate croissants to take home.
Dough to take home, so you can bake another batch the next morning.
One month of free access to L'Atelier at Home, our online membership with full written recipes and instructions from our class catalogue, so you can keep baking the French way long after class.
Who This Class Is For
Beginners, home bakers, and chocolate lovers in Philadelphia eager to master a quintessential French treat.
