Pudding Diplomate aux Fruits
A tender Diplomate of brioche custard layered with kirsch-scented pear, peach, and apricot, thinly sliced so the warm pudding turns out neatly beside its very cold fruit compote.

Pudding Malakoff
A cold moulded pudding of kirsch-soaked biscuits, apple-pear marmalade, plump raisins, almonds, candied orange, and trembling cream custard, served with a ribboning kirsch sabayon.
Chef Juliette
Pudding à la Nesselrode
Chestnut gives this frozen pudding its body, Madeira fruit its jewel-like bite, and maraschino cream its lift. Freeze it hard in the mould, then turn it out under a crown of candied chestnuts.
Chef Juliette
Pudding à la Richelieu
Dark prune and Kirsch jelly encloses a pale vanilla Bavarois in this composed cold pudding, where a second iced mould creates the hollow and a breath of warm water releases it.
Chef Juliette
Pudding Or “Crème Reine des Fées”
Quince-scented Meringue à l’Italienne (No. 2383) buttons, kirsch-soaked candied fruit, and alternating vanilla and pink Curaçao bavarois make a celebration pudding whose feather-light set depends on double cream, restrained gelatine, and calm chilling.
Chef Juliette
Abricots à la Parisienne
Vanilla-poached apricots close around walnut-sized vanilla ice, perch on overturned almond macaroons, and disappear beneath pointed Chantilly with fine filbert Pralin (No. 2352), held together by one discipline: drain the fruit dry.
Chef Juliette
Abricots à la Royale
Clear Kirsch jelly holding vanilla-poached apricots, turned out over a red-currant-glazed Génoise crown with pistachios and pink anisette jelly: a grand entremets made manageable by patience, not pastry-kitchen manpower.
Chef Juliette
Ananas Georgette
A whole pineapple becomes both dessert and dish, holding its own fruit in a cool, silken Bavarois beneath the restored leafy crown. Keep the half-inch wall intact and the illusion stands beautifully.
Chef Juliette
Ananas à la Virginie
A whole pineapple becomes its own chilled mould, holding rose-pink Bavarois aux fraises and golden dice of its flesh, folded only when the cream thickens so every spoonful keeps its fruit.
Chef Juliette
Ananas à la Ninon
A cold Parisian showpiece made practical: vanilla ice swept into an oblique lining, two rows of pineapple, and a heart of wild strawberries under bright raspberry purée and pistachios.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Femina
Cold strawberries, orange ice, and one hour of patience: Fraises Femina teaches the essential economy of this dessert, where the Grand Marnier syrup seasons the ice instead of being left behind in the bowl.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Marguerite
Wild strawberries meet their equal weight of ruby pomegranate sorbet, then disappear beneath maraschino Chantilly. The lesson is drainage: leave the kirsch syrup behind, and the frozen fruit stays bright, distinct, and spoonable.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Marquise
Fraises Marquise turns one precise ratio and one last-minute gesture into a cold strawberry dessert: two parts Chantilly, one part wild-strawberry purée, crowned with Kirsch berries whose sugar still sparkles.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Melba
Vanilla ice beneath ripe strawberries and a thick, barely sweetened raspberry purée: three cold layers, no ornament, and a splendid lesson in choosing fruit well and serving it without delay.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Nina
Fraises Nina balances three cold pleasures: kirsched wild berries, bright pineapple sherbet, and pale-pink whipped cream whose discreet red-capsicum fruitiness and ginger keep the whole timbale vivid.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Romanoff
Fraises Romanoff proves cold timing is a technique: orange-and-Curaçao berries kept bright and whole, then covered at the last moment with broad grooved ribbons of supple Chantilly.
Chef Juliette
Fraises “Rêve de Bébé”
Fraises “Rêve de Bébé” turns a ripe pineapple into a chilled celebration: kirsch-scented fruit, juice-macerated strawberries, and vanilla Chantilly layered at the last moment over a pink-fondant Génoise cushion.
Chef Juliette
Fraises à la Ritz
Fraises à la Ritz layers sugared berries under a pale-pink wild strawberry and Melba cream, deeply chilled and spoon-soft. Whip the Chantilly firmly before folding, or the purée will turn elegance into soup.
Chef Juliette
Fraises Zelma Kuntz
Fraises Zelma Kuntz teaches the cold fold: ripe strawberries under rose-pink raspberry Chantilly, crowned with piped cream and filbert Pralin for tartness, air, and crunch in every spoonful.
Chef Juliette
Gooseberry Fool
Green gooseberries, poached and sieved, meet their equal volume of stiff cream in this cold English fool, where acidity decides the sugar and temperature decides the texture.
Chef Juliette
Mandarines Almina
Whole tangerines hide a pale violet Bavarois and Maraschino-softened biscuit beneath lids cut to fit exactly, a cold dessert whose elegance depends on careful hands, not elaborate equipment.
Chef Juliette
Mandarines à la Crème
Tangerine shells become their own little moulds, holding a citrus-bright Bavarois softened with fresh cream at the ribbon stage, then chilled until the spoon meets a tender, trembling set.
Chef Juliette
Mandarines en Surprise
A cold jewel of tangerine jelly hidden inside its own peel, masked in meringue italienne and browned in seconds: the lesson is contrast, and the center must be fully set before the heat arrives.
Chef Juliette
Oranges au Blanc-mange
Four bright orange shells hide a snow-white almond blanc-mange, gently set, neatly capped, and served cold. The lesson is simple: preserve the whiteness, then let gelatine do no more than hold it.
