This round pastry, in the form of a wheel, was created in 1910 by Chef Louis Durand to commemorate the Paris–Brest bicycle race. Its circular shape is representative of a wheel. This iconic pastry is now found in patisseries all over France. The original Paris-Brest is filled with hazelnut mousseline; a buttered hazelnut pastry cream. This gourmet version has met a few upgrades. The pate a choux is topped and baked with a crusty chocolate crumble. I chose diplomate cream over mousseline; a pastry cream enlightened with mascarpone and whipped cream, offering a better mouthfeel and texture. The whole pastry wheel is then layered with a gooey hazelnut praliné, and soft caramel.

    The length of time of which this takes to complete is similar to the time it takes to complete the Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur!

    I'm making already. Custard cream is ready, caramelized nuts too! Tomorrow will bake the ring and will finish the cream. So excited! Wonderful recipe!

    My daughter has loved this dessert since she was a teenager when she visited France with her high school French club. I made Bruno's fantastic recipe for Paris-Brest pastry for her, and it is absolutely do-able by the home chef - easily do-able, because of his excellent recipe and directions. It was perfection. Making for her again tonight for her Mothers' Day Surprise. Thank you, Bruno. We love you!

    J’en ai l’eau à la bouche! J’imagine les senteurs de noix grillées. Le final : un mélange de texture croquante et mousseuse ... bravo chef! Votre timbre de voix nous transporte dans un « film » culinaire ! Vous devriez penser à doubler des voix d’acteurs !👍🏽👏🏽

    I’m writing the recipe and I’m in a third page still half way not finished yet. Should have gotten whole book. This is a cooking masterpiece.
