The Paris-Brest is a French pastry classic, which has been delighting dessert lovers for more than 100 years. In 1910, the Paris-Brest dessert was created by a French pastry chef to commemorate the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race. We wanted to give it a facelift and, with a few tweaks to the original recipe, we gave it a modern twist: light, balanced and crunchy.

Éclairs, filled with Crème pâtissière and topped with chocolate fondant.
Paris-Brest — A ring of choux pastry, filled with praline cream and topped with toasted almonds.
The Paris-Brest was tasty and nice to look at, but it didn’t excite me quite as much as I thought it would.
Of these, my favourite to eat was the éclairs, as I’m a big lover of crème pat.
I know profiteroles can divide opinion — often in part, I think, because of the from-frozen cheap versions you so frequently get in shit pubs and restaurants.
Profiteroles filled with Chantilly cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce
The type of choux pastry commonly used for profiteroles and the like was created by Antoine Carême, one of the first celebrity chefs and oft cited as the founder of French gastronomy.

Paris Brest is very similar in taste with the éclair.
The difference is Paris Breast has whipped cream and the éclair has a glaze on top but the base is the same made with choux paste.
