French dessert
Tart or éclair
A French dessert is a sweet course or confection originating from French culinary tradition.
The phrase typically evokes elegant preparations like crème brûlée, tarte tatin, or mille-feuille—dishes associated with classical pastry technique.
We finished with a French dessert of chocolate mousse.
