Paris-Brest
Created in 1910 to commemorate the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race, this ring-shaped choux pastry represents the wheel that inspired it. The golden choux crown, studded with sliced almonds, is split and filled with praline mousseline cream - a heavenly combination of hazelnut praline paste folded into rich pastry cream. Dusted with powdered sugar, this circular celebration of French pastry craftsmanship has become a beloved classic.
