Remixed French Dessert Recipes

Bakers and recipe creators are reimagining classic French desserts. Try some of our latest versions.

Shortcut Lemon-Raspberry Mille-Feuille

This classic French dessert combines crispy, buttery pastry with rich pastry cream. Mille-feuille, which translates as “thousand sheets” in French, designates the three layers of flaky puff pastry that are the hallmark of a mille-feuille. These delicate pastries traditionally take hours to make, so we came up with a version that produces the same showstopping dessert in about half the time.

Prosciutto and Brie Upside-Down Pastries

We took inspiration from the viral TikTok upside-down puff pastry hack credited to @lilyghodrati and gave it a savory spin that’s perfect for holiday appetizers. Each pastry provides an individual baked brie and gets additional flavor from prosciutto and a sweet drizzle of honey. Don’t forget the extra sprinkle of thyme for added freshness and color.

Croissant Bark

Soaked in a cinnamon-and-orange syrup and topped with white chocolate, this super-crunchy bark is the perfect way to give day-old croissants a sweet new life. Flattening them with a rolling pin might seem like the last thing you’d want to do to flaky croissants, and we recommend using everyday supermarket croissants for this recipe — they work incredibly well and are much more economical than bakery ones.

Sake Is the ‘It’ Drink

Japan’s ancient rice beverage has millennia of history and generations of craftsmanship and devoted drinkers. Now, interest and enthusiasm for sake are surging across the United States.

Homemade Brown Sugar Boba

If you love the boba tea shops popping up and want to try making them at home, these tapioca bubbles will taste better that anything you can buy. They're a labor of love, so when it comes time to roll the little boba, hop on a stool or grab a friend to help you out. You’ll have enough to make 8 glasses of your very own homemade bubble tea.

Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream Pops

If you’re craving those deliciously chewy and caramelly pops that are seemingly everywhere on social media, look no further. Inspired by brown sugar bubble tea, the Taiwanese ice cream treats are easy to make at home. Our recipe includes instructions for the boba (bubbles) too, since the store-bought pearls used in the drinks are made from tapioca starch, which becomes quite hard when frozen. After trying various options, we found glutinous rice flour yields the ideal texture, even after a stint in the freezer.

Strawberry Milk Tea

Molly and her sister would get bubble tea all the time growing up in Chinatown in Chicago. She was nervous to try it at first, but was jealous that her sister got to use the big straw. That’s what got her to taste it and she ended up loving it. It’s chewy and a little sweet and fun to drink.

Recipe Trends to Try

No-Bake Yuzu Cheesecake

Yuzu is an incredibly aromatic citrus fruit from East Asia that tastes like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. Used in both sweet and savory applications, yuzu makes everything taste more special, and its elegant flavor works beautifully with this creamy and light no-bake cheesecake.

XO Sauce

XO sauce originated in Hong Kong in the 1980s and is usually credited to Spring Moon restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel. It's easy to make and perfect for zhuzhing.

Crab Stick Crackers with Crab Dip

Imitation crab sticks can do more than fill California rolls or kani salad. Here they double as dippers and creamy dip.

Extra-Creamy Cacio e Uova with Grated Egg

In this amped-up version of a classic Neapolitan dish, we add lemon zest for a hit of brightness then top it all off with finely grated hard-boiled eggs (a technique from Tik Tok) to emphasize the beautiful egg flavor and give the dish an unexpected fluffy texture.

Scoopable Green Chopped Salad

Inspired by Melissa Ben-Ishay's (@bakedbymelissa) TikTok viral chopped salad, this vibrant crunchy-creamy dish is a salad, but it’s meant to be scooped up with chips.

Blackstone Breakfast Sandwiches

Take a break from pancakes on the griddle to try these delicious biscuit breakfast sandwiches.
