Entremets Royal, a classic french pastry dessert, with chocolate and hazelnut flavors.
Traditionally, it iis made of a daquoise biscuit, a crunchy praline and a chocolate mousse.
All the great french pastry chefs have reinterpreted the Entremets Royal, providing their execution, more or less faithful to tradition.
Today, I propose my interpretation of the Entremets Royal: crunchy, soft, and characterized by an intense chocolate flavor, just as it should be.
The Entremets Royal is a perfect dessert for chocolate lovers … and then, ready to satisfy their desires?
