Summer Café Gourmand

In France on many dessert menus you have a special item called a “Cafe Gourmand.” It’s like a dessert sampler plate with 3-4 little desserts of various textures and flavors plus an espresso or a cup of tea!

In this class we’ll be making our own version of this with light and crunchy berry swirl meringue kisses, a dense and delicious specialty rum almond cake from the French city Nantes, and smooth refreshing lemon panna cotta – YUM! It’s perfect for an afternoon party or if you just want to learn lots of fun easy French desserts.

  • How to make easy and delicious meringue kisses with a berry swirl
  • My recipe for homemade Nantes cake
  • Step by step process for smooth lemon panna cotta
  • Tips for assembly and decoration
