Pâte à Choux

Dessert

The Bahamas cake, invented by Pâte à Choux a few years ago, was copied unsuccessfully by many. It is the only cake that makes me want to close my eyes after every bite. A mix of soft ingredients between bananas, creamy and a fluffy cake texture… melt between your tongue and palate without even having to chew anything. You feel softness, tenderness, passion, aromas, sweetness and much, much more. The Pâte à Choux Bahamas is a round, cylinder-shaped individual cake covered with chocolate. What’s inside is the big surprise: A yellowish cake that looks like a hamburger, a thick 2cm piece of cake at the bottom covered with banana-flavor pastry cream (crème pâtissière) embracing a few pieces of ripe banana slices, all covered by another layer of yellow sponge cake. Simple! On the outside is a thin layer of Crème Chantilly that is covered again with a robe of rich chocolate. Just imagine!
