For a soft and sweet snack break, choose brioche chinois! Easier to make than you think, its filling of vanilla custard and chocolate chips will make it irresistible. As usual, we guide you step by step through this recipe :-)
Also known as "Schneckenkuchen" (due to its German origins!), this snail-shaped cake can have its filling changed according to your desires and tastes. For example, use raisins, pistachio pieces, or even coffee extract.
For a little history, this brioche has nothing to do with the Chinese. The first French importer simply couldn't pronounce the German name of this recipe. To him, it was Chinese! That's how this more common name stuck :-)
