Here's another must-try by Sebastien Gaudard – am actually quite convinced that everything at his patisserie is a must-try – the Mont Blanc.

The entwining squiggles of chestnut cream on top are amazing – rich with that earthy chestnut flavour, yet impossibly light, with an airy, almost whipped, quality. Buried beneath is a nest of (again) super-light vanilla bean cream cradling chunks of crumbly meringue that are so (again) light and not at all saccharine.

By far the best Mont Blanc I've ever had.
