Master 16 show-stopping desserts by world-famous Chef Karim Bourgi
Whether creating new, innovative recipes or refining the old classics, my passion for baking and creating desserts knows no ends. In the Pastry Collection book, I’ve gathered together some of my all-time favorite dessert recipes. From traditional cakes to modern twists on old favorites, these recipes are sure to impress even the most discerning of sweet tooths.
Many of my recipes are inspired by well-loved flavors. My heavenly Banoffee Tartlets are composed of nostalgic caramel, banana and cream textures. An ode to the traditional German cake, my Kougelhopf is made unique by my special addition of orange macerated raisins. Other pastry classics include my Original Basque Cheesecake, Millefeuille and Flan à la Vanille, all of which impress with their creamy, luxurious textures — and, of course, we can’t forget my melt-in-the-mouth Chocolate Éclairs!
The chocolate theme continues with my Entreme Racine. An indulgent dessert, this pastry is filled with chocolatey goodness, from the crunchy nutty base and sweet Sacher sponge, to the cocoa nib mousse and white chocolate crémeux. My Babka recipe also allows chocolate flavors to take center stage, with its gooey chocolate and hazelnut filling. You’ll find irresistable nutty and buttery flavors in my Alba Hazelnut Tartlets and Calla Gourmet Cookies, and I celebrate the deliciously citrusy Antep pistachio in my tartlet and travel cake recipes. With their layers of chocolate and caramel, my elegant Inka and Pecano Travel Cakes are also waiting for you to try them.
I knew my pastry book wouldn’t be complete without a fruity dessert, so I had to include my Passion Gravée Tartlets. These are a delight for the eyes, with the glossy passion fruit gel providing an explosion of flavor and color. To top it all off, my Individual Mosaic Roll cakes are here for you to make and show off proudly to your loved ones.
