5 French Dessert Recipes

Here are five French dessert recipes (from an actual French baking blogger).

I thought I'd do a little recipe round-up this week, so here are five of my classic French dessert recipes. I know a lot about French desserts, because, well, I'm French. The recipes in this round-up are some of my favorites, and I hope they become yours too !


1. TARTE AU SUCRE


Tarte au sucre (literally "sugar tart") is a specialty from the North of France. A thin round brioche is topped with a mixture of heavy cream and light brown sugar. This classic French dessert is easier to make than it looks !


2. TARTE TROPÉZIENNE


Tarte Tropézienne is a classic French dessert from St Tropez. You're going to love this brioche filled with cream (pastry cream folded into whipped cream) !


3. FONDANT AU CHOCOLAT


A classic French dessert, fondant au chocolat is an easy-to-make chocolate cake that you'll want to bake if you can't choose between chocolate brownies or chocolate lava cakes.


4. COQUILLE DE NOËL


Coquille de Noël is a French Christmas brioche. Originally from Northern France, this brioche will be perfect on your Christmas Day (or anyday !) breakfast table !


5. TARTE À LA CRÈME


Tarte à la Crème ("Pastry Cream Tart") is just that : a pie crust filled with delicious pastry cream. This French tart is very easy to make (and even easier to eat !).
