Saint Tropez Cream Tarte (Tarte Tropéziennes)
When we say this is a one of a kind French pastry, we mean it. A creamy “madame cream” between two airy brioche layers, and sprinkled with little sugar crystals on top. What more could you ask for from an airy light summer treat?
As its name indicates, Tarte Tropézienne is a traditional Saint Tropez recipe.
Alexandre Micka, a pastry chef of Polish origin, opened a pastry shop in Saint Tropez in 1955 where he made a wonderful cake filled with cream. That same year, during the filming of Roger Vadim‘s film “And God created woman“, Brigitte Bardot discovers this famous cake. She proposes to Alexandre Micka to call it “Tarte Tropézienne“. Thanks to its success, in 1973, Alexandre registered the recipe and brand of this cake made with brioche and cream.
Madame cream also known as Diplomatic cream (this name is less attractive despite being the same wonderful cream) consists of a pastry cream and Chantilly (whipped cream with vanilla).
