Tarte aux pralines · Lyon
The tarte aux pralines is the Lyonnais pink-praline tart: a short-pastry shell filled with a molten pink-praline cream that sets to a glossy, sticky, intensely sweet slab, sold by the slice at every bakery in the city.
The pink praline, a sugar-coated almond made in Lyon since the 17th century, was traditionally sold as a sweet in its own right before bakers started folding it into cream and tart shells. The tarte aux pralines appears in Lyonnais pastry records from the late 19th century and is now the city's most-reproduced souvenir: Pignol bakes it at Place Bellecour, Bouillet at Croix-Rousse, and every market stall sells its own version. The pink colour comes from carmine dye in the praline coating.
