Goodbye Summer!

Goodbye Summer!
Goodbye Summer! Goodbye Summer! Goodbye Summer! Goodbye Summer!

Another Sunday treat for my family (yes, I spoil them!) to say Goodbye to a wonderful Summer. A beloved dessert from my childhood, Strawberry Paris Brest. Known to me back those days as “Ciambellone.” Mirta, a dear Italian friend of our family used to make it for very special occasions, it was a yummy treat indeed! The dessert itself is composed by a crown made of choux pastry baked along with sliced almonds. Then filled with cream, and fresh strawberries. This version was enriched by adding an extra layer of homemade strawberry jam. And finally decorated with powdered sugar. Simple, fancy and delicious!
