Le Petit Duc Gâteau Calisson
A wonderful cake made with Calisson Paste!

The Le Petit Duc Gâteau Calisson is a unique confection from Le Petit Duc, a renowned French confectionery celebrated for its dedication to traditional Provençal sweets.

This Gâteau combines elements of the classic calisson with cake, or gâteau, creating a fusion dessert.

This dessert takes the classic calisson, a staple of Provence made from ground almonds, candied melon, and orange peel, topped with a delicate layer of royal icing. Calisson has a distinct almond-melon flavor and a sweet, chewy texture.

Le Petit Duc has transformed the calisson into a cake format, adding a more tender, moist crumb to the bite while preserving the essential flavors of almonds and candied fruits.

This innovative fusion brings a new depth to a beloved flavor profile, offering both the comforting softness of a cake and the rich almond and candied fruit essence of a calisson.

Perfect as a treat paired with coffee or tea, the Gâteau Calisson is the perfect choice for anyone who loves traditional French flavors.


ingredients: calisson paste 66% (almonds, sugar, candied melon, candied orange), eggs, butter, sugar, pure vanilla extract.
