What are French desserts?
Baba au Rhum (Rum Cake)

A rum cake is simply a sponge cake soaked in rum. It is usually round in shape and dotted with whipped cream.

This is a traditional French dessert usually served during religious celebrations such as Easter or Christmas.

Macaroons

Macaroons are popular in France, especially Paris, and it became famous around 2000. Macarons have different flavors inside and outside.

There are many different flavors of macarons in France, from simple vanilla macarons to delicate rose macarons and now savory macarons.

Paris-Brest (Paris Wheel Puff)

The Paris Wheel Puff is a traditional pastry, a wheel-shaped puff pastry stuffed with praline custard and ground almonds.

The dessert celebrates the Paris-Brest bicycle race, for which it is named.

Floating Island

Floating Island is soft and creamy in texture, and is known for its shape like an island floating in the sea. Its "sea water" is made of milk egg yolks and vanilla, and its "island" is made of frothed egg whites. Usually, it's topped with caramel and custard.

The floating island is arguably one of France's most popular desserts.

Napoleon (Millefeuille)

The Millefeuille, which literally means "thousand layers of pastry," is a combination of layers of puff pastry topped with cheese for a crunchy, smooth texture.

There are two ways of saying that the name Napoleon comes from the Italian word for pastry, Naples, which later evolved into Napoleon, which is one of the English names for Napoleon cake. There is another theory because this cake was originally intended to make a hundred layers, but the final product is only thirty layers, because it is too short, some people will be shorter Napoleon to replace the name, so it has been passed down to the rest of the world.

Napoleon is loved by the French and can be said to top the list of French desserts.

Chocolate Fondant

Chocolate Fondant is a classic French dessert. In France, Chocolate Fondant and Chocolate Lava-cake are not the same thing, and while both are full of rich chocolate, the lava-cake's chocolate oozes out.

When you eat a chocolate soft center cake, you can feel the chocolate melting in your mouth.

Crème Br?lée/Crème br?lée

Crème br?lée is another classic of French desserts.

It has a crunchy caramelized shell on the outside and a creamy pudding-like cold, chilled filling on the inside. It is made of egg yolks, sugar, cream, vanilla and caramel.
