If you're looking to elevate your holiday dessert platter this year, look no further than Trader Joe's new Petit Fours Mousse Cakes.
Pastries à petit fours is a unique French dessert that dates back to the 18th century. Back then, ovens took so long to heat up that bakers would make the most of the residual heat left over after baking bread to bake their delicate pastries à petit fours – a name that literally translates to “at small oven." Fast forward to today and Trader Joe's has taken these delicate cakes and packaged them up for you to enjoy anytime. In each package, you'll find nine carefully decorated, two-or-three-bite-sized Petit Fours Cakes in three distinct styles. There is a silky chocolate mousse version, a vanilla mousse, and a smooth coffee mousse version.
Perfect for sharing or a last-minute hostess gift, Trader Joe's Petit Fours Mousse Cakes are a must-buy this holiday season.
