This dessert was created by Gaston Lenôtre in honor of the legendary French airplane "Le Concorde" in the early 1970s, when Gaston Lenôtre was the Head of Catering on the Air France lines. The cake consists of successive layers of chocolate meringue and chocolate mousse, as well as small sticks of meringue (called fairy fingers).

This dessert is quite technical to prepare, I think it is better to be an advanced pastry chef to have all the pleasure of doing it. I do not recommend it for beginners.

From experience, I have been giving cooking lessons for over 11 years. Age required to do so not less than 15 years. I won’t accept someone younger.

One of our best French dessert.

Try it!
