Paris-Brest is a classic French pastry made from a ring of choux pastry filled with a rich mousseline crème and topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar. Created in 1910 by pastry chef Louis Durand to commemorate the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race, its circular shape represents a bicycle wheel, with the filling symbolizing the tires. In this three-hour class, each student will learn techniques to properly make and pipe their own elegant choux pastry, create a rich velvety mousseline, and to assemble all of the components.
