The chocolate Royal, also known as Trianon, is one of the most iconic French pastries. Three textures complement one another: a soft almond dacquoise, a praline crunch that cracks between your teeth, and an airy, intense dark chocolate mousse. A great classic of pastry-shop displays, alcohol-free and ideal for a special occasion such as Father’s Day.
Despite its appearance as a pastry chef’s creation, the Royal is accessible to everyone: there’s no delicate cooking beyond the dacquoise, and it can be assembled at your leisure the day before. We’ll guide you step by step, from the crunchy layer to the mousse, for a pastry-shop-worthy result to reveal at serving time with a simple dusting of cocoa.
