#8 The Choux à La Crème

These cream puffs are created using puff pastry as well. They swell while cooking and are hollow. The oozing center can be either whipped cream or custard. Interestingly enough, once you add chocolate as your topping, it then becomes a profiterole. There are various toppings you can add to this pastry, from ice cream to fruit and even spun caramel.

Consumer warning: Choux à La Crème (these delicious desserts) are “poppable” and can easily be consumed in multiples.

#4 Macaron

Another famous Parisian dessert is the macaron (no that name is not mispelled…you’ll see why later). Macarons are undeniably delectable. There are so many flavors to choose from. The base ingredients include meringue and almonds. Be sure to not confuse with coconut macaroons, in which the English added the -oon to the word in the 16th century. So you gotta ask yourself, are you a French dessert lover (macaron) or have more of an English palate (macaroon)?
