Créme Beau Rivage

There is probably nothing more gratifying to a dessert lover than the velvet-smooth creations made with cream, vanilla and sugar. Not content with such a masterpiece as crème renversée au caramel, some French chef carried it to a more luxurious conclusion and produced crème beau rivage. This is the caramel custard embellished with rolled almond cookies filled with strawberry cream. It is so beautiful to look at, it is almost a shame to eat it.
