10 French Pastries You’ll Never Get Enough Of

6. Paris-Brest

A round choux pastry filled with rich praline cream and topped with powdered sugar or slivered almonds. This dessert was created in 1910 to celebrate the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race, with its circular shape symbolizing a bicycle wheel. The light choux pastry contrasts nicely with the nutty, creamy praline filling. A decadent yet airy treat.
