Le Trépaïs

This tasty cake is composed of a crunchy crust, a "manjari" chocolate mousse, a chocolate cookie, a chestnut cream and a hazelnut-based cookie on the sides. The name trépaïs comes from the Occitan meaning "three countries", in homage to the three departments of the former Limousin region. This specialty was created by the regional association of Limousin pastry-makers. Today, it can be found in a Saint-Junien patisserie: La Rose sur le Gâteau, rue Gabriel Péri. Both fondant and crunchy, this cake is sure to please young and old alike!
