Besides the occasional craving, I'd hardly consider myself as having a sweet-tooth. J even less so. However, we couldn't help ourselves from trying the delicious looking desserts in Paris!
1. café (a shot of expresso) - a common dessert substitution or addition to a dessert2. crème brûlée from La Coupole
3. mille-feuille (custard fillings between puff pastry sheets) from Lenotre
4. a chocolate mousse-like cake from Lenotre
5. a single scoop of fresh strawberry ice cream from Berthillion - so famous that we had to eat it, even if it was while walking through the streets of Paris on a winter-y mid-December day.
6. raspberry and strawberry tart from a boulangerie on Rue Cler (previously posted)
7. fig tartlette from Paul
8. almond tartlette from Paul
9. raspberry tart from Gerard Mulot
10. a raspberry mille-feuille with a side of French almond and chocolate macarons from Gerard Mulot - the macarons are much tastier than the American versions Our favorite dessert is definitely the mille-feuillet. We've already had it twice from two different stores. It may be time for a 3rd. The only dessert that still eludes me is the Grand Marnier Soufflé. Anyone know a good place to go? I don't suppose there is a restaurant in Paris that will let us in just to eat a dessert souffle....
Side-note: This reminds me of how one of my elementary school teachers taught the class how to not confuse "dessert" from "desert." You want a second helping of "s" in "dessert" - the one you eat. Cute.
