Frequently Asked Questions About Pailleté Feuilletine
What is pailleté feuilletine?
Pailleté feuilletine is a pastry ingredient made of thin, crisp crêpe flakes. It is commonly made by crushing delicate crêpes dentelle and is prized for adding crunch to chocolate, praline and layered desserts.
How do you use pailleté feuilletine?
Mix pailleté feuilletine into chocolate or praline for a crunchy layer, or sprinkle it over desserts just before serving. It softens when exposed to moisture, so avoid leaving it in contact with wet fillings for long.
What can I use instead of pailleté feuilletine?
Crushed wafer biscuits, ice-cream cones or crisp crêpes can stand in for pailleté feuilletine. They will not have exactly the same texture or flavor, but they can add crunch to pastry layers and chocolate fillings.
How do you make pailleté feuilletine at home?
Make pailleté feuilletine by baking very thin, crisp crêpes dentelle, letting them cool completely, then crushing them into flakes. Using ready-made crêpes dentelle is easier; crush them lightly rather than turning them into crumbs.
Why is pailleté feuilletine mixed with chocolate or praline?
Pailleté feuilletine adds a crisp texture to chocolate and praline without needing a separate pastry layer. The mixture is often used in cake bases and bonbon fillings, where coating the flakes helps shield them from moisture.
Is pailleté feuilletine the same as crêpes dentelle?
No. Crêpes dentelle are the thin, crisp crêpes, while pailleté feuilletine usually refers to those crêpes broken into flakes. Recipes typically use the flakes as an ingredient rather than serving whole crêpes.
How do you keep pailleté feuilletine crunchy in a cake?
Keep pailleté feuilletine away from wet fillings for as long as possible, and mix it in shortly before assembling or serving. Coating the flakes in melted chocolate or praline can also slow moisture from softening them.
How should you store pailleté feuilletine after opening?
Store pailleté feuilletine in a tightly sealed, dry container in a cool cupboard. Moisture quickly dulls its crispness, so avoid leaving the packet open and keep it out of the refrigerator, where condensation can form.
Can you freeze pailleté feuilletine?
Yes, pailleté feuilletine can be frozen while dry, but condensation during thawing may make it less crisp. Seal it well and let it come to room temperature while still in its closed container before opening.
Which desserts use pailleté feuilletine?
Pailleté feuilletine is used in crunchy cake layers, entremets, praline fillings and chocolate bonbons. You can also scatter it over mousse or ice cream just before serving to add a crisp contrast.

What is Pailleté Feuilletine?
Pailleté Feuilletine is a French pastry ingredient made from thin, crisp crêpe flakes, which are broken into small pieces. Rather than being served on its own, it is used to add crunch to confectionery and desserts.
Its delicate, toasted crispness pairs especially well with chocolate and praline. In French-style cakes it is often folded into a crunchy layer or scattered over mousses and other desserts; you can also sprinkle it on ice cream at home. It softens when it sits against moist ingredients, so add it shortly before serving if you want to keep the crunch. It is mainly a source of carbohydrate and fat, with about 480 calories per 100 g, so a little goes a long way as a texture-enhancing topping.
