If a few weeks ago, the fruity and sculptural pastries of Cédric Grolet were unanimous on Tiktok, a new dessert is stealing the show from all the others. Presented in several videos that combine thousands of views, this pastry with a sober appearance but with irresistibly melting cutting triggered a real frenzy.
A flan yes, but signed Pierre Hermé
The flan, this pillar of French bakeries, is entitled here to a high pastry treatment. No vanilla, no cream, no butter: Pierre Hermé returns to the very essence of this dessert by instilling an infinitely delicious chocolate intensity. For this, he puts on a pure chocolate origin Ghanacultivated in the south of the country and renowned for its deep aromas mixing vanilla, grilled dried fruits, bitterness and raw cocoa notes.
The texture? Light and meltingalmost frothy, with a feeling of freshness which surprises in the mouth. The whole is placed on a well -cooked, fine and crisp shortcrust pastry, surmounted by a thin nougatine with a cocoa groan which adds a crisp and caramelized note. A perfectly controlled game of contrasts.
