The Mont Blanc is the signature dessert at Angelina, a pastry shop in Paris that has served the ­alpine-like dome, layered with meringue, chantilly cream (sweet whipped cream) and vermicelles of sweet chestnut purée, since 1903. While all of our freezer cakes can be enjoyed fresh, our Mont Blanc was expressly adapted to be made and frozen ahead of time. Don’t forget to dust it with icing sugar before serving to recreate the snow-capped splendour of Western Europe’s highest peak.
