It's not the kind of thing you'd expect from him, but Christophe Louie 's galettes are delicious. This year, he's offering not one, but two galettes des Rois in his new bakery. And, as you may have guessed, it's one of the best frangipane galettes we've tasted yet again this year, among the flock we're testing.
Made on a base of inverted puff pastry, topped with a delicious frangipane cream made from crème pâtissière married to an almond cream flavored with an exceptional rum (Eldorado, 8 years old, with notes of vanilla and dried fruit), it's a real knockout. In any case, if you're looking for a creamy, well-flavored frangipane galette des Rois, Christophe Louie is the place to go!
For those looking for a little pizzazz, Christophe Louie also offers a galette des Rois with preserved lemons. Also based on inverted puff pastry, this creation stands out for its hazelnut frangipane cream, topped with IGP candied lemon. This little sweetness is topped with hazelnuts to add a little crunch.
Expect to pay €36 for a traditional frangipane galette for 6-8 people, and €38 for a hazelnut and lemon galette for 6-8 people.
