Paris Brest<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A show-stopper French ring choux pastry cake that is split horizontally and filled with praline cr\u00e8me mousseline, my intake is a bit different, instead of the praline cream mousseline, I experimented with a mascarpone and whipped cream filling, and flavored with banana extract and some banana slices that added an extra touch to this classic French dessert! I am always trying to explore new approaches for presentation and flavor to surprise my son who has an intention to open a coffeeshop I know I will be thrilled seeing his reaction once I bring this out to him,\u00a0impossible not to love.<\/p>\n

Making Paris Brest looks like a laborious process: actually it is not, you only have two steps, starting with the choux ring and then the filling.<\/p>\n

A traditional French choux pastry named after an old bicycle race between Paris and the city of Brest in Brittany. The pastry was created in 1910 and its circular shape is meant to represent the wheel of a bicycle. Traditionally this cake is filled with pastry cream (custard) or whipped cream. Instead of this filling, I tried a variation of mascarpone cheese mixed with whipped cream, sugar, banana flavoring, and banana slices. The recipe exceeded my expectations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
