Cremeux

Crèmeux is a French term for a smooth, dense, and creamy dessert made from a base of custard or chocolate. It is typically made by combining cream, eggs, sugar, and flavoring, then cooking the mixture gently until thickened. The texture of a crèmeux is similar to a rich mousse or ganache, but it is softer and silkier. It is often used as a filling or layer in sophisticated desserts, such as tarts or plated presentations, and can be flavored with chocolate, fruit purées, or other ingredients. The word crèmeux translates to "creamy" in French, highlighting its key characteristic.
