Delicious French Dessert Recipes

This is the spotlight on the very best French classics that are my favorite dessert recipes, suitable for family meals or entertaining friends.

Try French cakes like buttery Breton Flat Cake, Kugelhopf (a shared treat from Germany), and cookies like Palmiers Glaces made from puff pastry! And speaking of French pastries, they are not as difficult to make as you might think! They say the "proof of the pudding is in the eating" or "custard" in this case with Crème Brulée, and oh boy what a treat! Try them all!
