Galette des Rois: A delicious alternative to Roscón de Reyes
If you're looking for a different, but equally iconic option, the French Galette des Rois is perfect for you. This traditional dessert from France is a tart made with crispy puff pastry and a frangipane (almond cream) filling. Its origin is also linked to the celebration of the Three Wise Men, making it an elegant and delicious substitute.
Why choose the Galette des Rois?
- Different flavor : Its almond filling is soft and sweet, an ideal option if you don't like the candied fruits in Roscón.
- Shared symbolism : Like the Roscón, it includes a fève (surprise) inside, and whoever finds it will be crowned the “king” or “queen” of the celebration.
