An Eiffel Tower of Chocolate Cream

Parisian crème doesn’t get its name from a confectioner, but rather from a man who is famous for steel instead of snacks. We are talking about Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832–1923), whose tower, built for the World’s Fair in Paris 1889, gave many confectioners the same idea: to create the shape of the Eiffel Tower on a pâte brisée base and pour chocolate over the whole thing. The chocolate cream used has been called Parisian cream ever sense.
