The Paris-Brest is a traditional French pastry made from choux dough and filled with a rich praline-flavored cream. It was created in 1910 to honor the Paris–Brest–Paris bicycle race, with its round shape symbolizing a bicycle wheel. The pastry consists of a light, crisp choux pastry ring filled with a smooth, nutty praline cream made from caramelized almonds or hazelnuts. Often, it’s topped with toasted almonds for added texture and visual appeal. The Paris-Brest is a delicious blend of crunchy and creamy textures, making it a beloved French dessert.
