Brioche Infiniment Chocolat - brioche pastry, chocolate crumble, chocolate mousseline cream, dark chocolate crisp.
This brioche may look demure, but
it's ready for temptation. Plump, golden and soft, the brioche pastry is
topped with a crispy chocolate crumble. Inside, the richness and power
of a chocolate cream teams up with the crunchiness of bits of cocoa
bean. This unexpected clash will titillate many a taste bud.
Cannele is the vanilla and rum-flavoured crêpe star cake in golden brown.
Croissant Ispahan is puff pastry, rose almond paste, raspberry and litchi compote.
Upon the first bite, one finds it
difficult to resist its rose and almond paste delicious flavour
highlighted with raspberry and litchi compote. It's all topped off with
rosewater glaze and a sprinkling of small raspberry pieces. This
croissant will have lovers of Ispahan melting with pleasure.

| Time to taste |
 |
| Ombre & Lumiere |
Tender chocolate cake and bits of almond, Pure Origin Madagascan dark chocolate mousse, Millot Plantation.
This creation entertains the eye as
much as it enchants the senses. Courtesy of its decorations, trees or
human figures, and courtesy of the biscuit made with chocolate or chunks
of mousse, the swirl of cream or the rocher chocolates, dark versus
light. Courtesy of its architecture of all-chocolate tastes set off by
variations in texture, from the density of the brownie containing
crunchy roasted almonds and the lightness contributed by the tender
chocolate biscuit and rich chocolate mousse. The decoration is dressy;
it adds taste and texture to the cake.
 |
| Tarte Infiniment Vanille |
Pâte sablée, white chocolate ganache with vanilla, tender biscuit moistened with vanilla, vanilla-flavoured mascarpone cream.
The Tarte Infiniment Vanille
consists of a shortbread crust with a very rich, dense filling of white
chocolate ganache flavoured with vanilla and mascarpone cream, also
flavoured with vanilla. The contrast in textures yields an impression of
great lightness.
In this recipe, Pierre Hermé has combined vanilla from several different provenances (Mexico, Tahiti and Madagascar) to develop a "house vanilla", Pierre Hermé's concept of the ideal vanilla.

| Desire |
Brittany-style sablé pastry, lemon
cream, strawberry and banana compote, tender lemon biscuit, whole
strawberries, decoration using strawberries, wild strawberries or
raspberries depending on the season.
Désiré is a composition in which
lemon and strawberries express a note of acidulated freshness. A study
in contrasts : crumbly sablé and tender lemon biscuit are offset by the light freshness of the cream and strawberry banana compote.
 |
| Ispahan |
Rose macaron biscuit, rose petal cream, whole raspberries, litchis.
More than a cake, this creation is
sheer happiness. Bliss from the first bite. Beneath the tender, crisp
shell of a blushing macaron, the flavours merge to form an irresistible
combination. The subtle alliance of sweet rose cream and the floral note
of the litchi, heightened by the assertive brio of fresh raspberry.
Full-bodied and acidulated tastes mingle, awakening myriad sensations on
the palate. The Ispahan flavours merge in perfect harmony.
 |
| Chou Ispahan |
Choux pastry, raspberry crumble, rose mascarpone cream, fresh raspberries and litchis.
This luscious sphere, crisp outside
and tender inside, is the choux version of the favourite house flavour
combination. Covered with a thin layer of pâte sablée, the choux pastry
provides a satisfying crunch when one bites into it. Then comes an
explosion of tastes: delicious rose cream with bits of raspberry and
litchi, with pieces of pâte sablée for textural contrast.

I ordered and paid online when I was in Singapore. When I arrived in Paris, I took the metro to the only designated Pierre Hermé boutique for my sweet treat. It was fast and fuss-free.
Highlight would be the Ispahan macaron, the lychee, rose and cream works together. Desire has great flavor combination and Tarte infiniment vanille is filled with kicks of vanilla overdose.
The boring are the Brioche Infiniment Chocolat, Ombre and Lumiere and the cannele, they were nothing outstanding
