Tarte Tropézienne

Tarte tropézienne, also known as "la tarte de Saint-Tropez", is a dessert viennoiserie consisting of a halved brioche filled with a mix of two creams, thick crème pâtissière and buttercream, and topped with pearl sugar. It was created in 1955 by Polish confectioner Alexandre Micka, a pâtisserie owner in Saint-Tropez, where he moved in 1945 just after the war. Micka adapted a family recipe (the legend says it was his grandmother's recipe) to create the first version of tarte tropézienne in 1952. A few years later, actress Brigitte Bardot developed a taste for the pastries while she was in Saint-Tropez filming And God Created Woman. and it was in fact she who suggested the name, which Micka registered as a trademark in 1973. Micka's original shop, La Tarte Tropézienne, still exists.
