2. What is better than desserts and pastries? Yet, what is better
than French desserts and pastries? Chocolat Mou,
Cheese croissant, crème brulee. They sound French, they
look French, and they taste so good.
French have been historically known to make some of the
best desserts and pastries in the world. That is actually
accurate, at least in my experience. French have also
exported their expertise in desserts and pastries to many
of the countries they have historically colonized. That's
why you see many great French pastry stores in the
Middle East.
3. In general, French style desserts and pastries have a fine taste.
They are also usually very elegantly decorated. When looking
at a French dessert, you instantly appreciate all the work that
is put into the details to make it appetizing from which ever
angle you look at it. French desserts are also usually colorful.
Different sauces are used to add color and life to every piece
of dessert.
4. CroissantCroissant
Have you ever tasted a French croissant? I mean a croissant
made by a French bakery, a real French bakery? If you
haven't, then you haven't tasted croissant yet. Forget all the
croissants you find elsewhere. A French made croissant is
just different.
First, the French made pastry is so crunchy and buttery.
Second, the filling is what makes most the difference.
Whether it is cheese, chocolate, or almonds, it is sweet, but
not so sweet. Using extra sweet cheese or the strawberry
jams commonly found in croissant dominates the taste.
5. Crème BruleeCrème Brulee
It means "burnt cream" because the top layer consists
of a burnt "crème caramel" layer that forms a very
think but solid film that protects the custard
underneath.
Crème Brulee is becoming one of the most desired
desserts in restaurants in the United States. You
almost see it on most menus these days.
If you like custard with the flavor of lightly burnt sugar,
this is your favorite.
6. Chocolat MouChocolat Mou
Well, what does "Mou" mean? It means "melted" in French.
Thus, Chocolat Mou is "Melted Chocolate." It is made of
ice cream and melted chocolate chunks.
It is served in a glass, and you can even drink it. This great
French dessert is not so popular in the United States
yet, but it is gathering some fans rapidly.
Chocolat Mou is at the border line between ice cream and
milk shake. It is not as thick as ice cream, but not as
liquid as milk neither.
