With its fine chestnut vermicelli, coiled like a nest around a heart of whipped cream, the Mont Blanc is one of the most elegant desserts in French pastry. Made legendary by Parisian tea rooms, it immediately evokes autumn, chestnuts, and the snow-capped peaks that give it its name.
Behind its sophisticated appearance lie three entirely approachable preparations: an oven-dried meringue, vanilla whipped cream, and a mixture of cream and chestnut paste to pipe. We guide you step by step, including the vermicelli piping nozzle, for a result worthy of a pastry shop window.
