Paris Brest

  • Good for freezing
This Ruby Pistachio Raspberry Paris‑Brest reimagines a classic French pastry through a refined balance of textures and flavors. A light cocoa pâte à choux creates a delicate base, filled with a smooth ruby chocolate and lychee diplomat cream that brings gentle fruitiness and a creamy texture. Layers of pistachio spread and red fruit gelée add depth and contrast, combining nutty richness with bright acidity. A whipped ruby ganache completes the composition, enhancing the chocolate’s natural fruity notes while maintaining a light and elegant finish. The result is a visually striking, multi‑textured pastry that delivers a modern and balanced tasting experience.
