What are the French desserts?

Rum cake (Baba au Rhum) Rum cake is simply a sponge cake soaked in rum.

Usually it is round in shape and topped with whipped cream.

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

Macaroons Macaroons are very popular in France, especially Paris. They became famous around 2000.

The taste of macarons is different 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-Brest is a traditional pastry, a wheel-shaped puff pastry stuffed with nut custard and almond flour.

This dessert celebrates the Paris-Brest cycling race and is named after it.

Floating Island Floating Island is famous for its soft texture and shape like an island floating on the sea.

Its "sea water" is made with milk egg yolk and vanilla, and its "island" is made with frothed egg whites.

Typically, it is also topped with caramel and custard.

Floating Island is arguably one of the most popular desserts in France.

Napoleon (Millefeuille) Millefeuille literally means "thousand-feuille". It is actually a combination of multiple layers of puff pastry sandwiched with cheese. It has a crispy and tender texture.

There are two reasons why it is called Napoleon. One is derived from the Italian puff pastry "Naples", which later evolved into "Napoleon", which is also one of the English names of Napoleon cake.

Another theory is that this cake was originally made to have one hundred layers, but the final product only had more than thirty layers. Because it was too short, some people named it after the shorter Napoleon, so it became popular all over the world.

Napoleon is deeply loved by the French and can be said to be at the top of the French dessert list.

Chocolate Fondant Chocolate Fondant cake is a classic French dessert.

In France, chocolate soft center cake and chocolate lava cake (lava-cake) are not the same thing. Although both are full of rich chocolate, the chocolate in lava cake will flow out.

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

Crème Br?lée Crème Br?lée is another classic French dessert.

It has a crispy caramel shell on the outside and a cold, creamy pudding-like filling on the inside.

It's made from egg yolks, sugar, butterfat, vanilla and caramel.
