Sarah Bernhardt
Yep, that's what these delicious Danish treats are
called. It looks like they take a macaroon cookie, flip it over
and scoop out the bottom of the cookie. The scooped-out bottom
is filled with a chocolate mousse-type filling so that it comes
to a point like a pyramid. The pyramid part is the covered with
a chocolate coating and topped with cherry flakes at the tip.
How did this scrumptious treat come to be named after a long
gone stage actress? Well, it seems during a Ms. Bernhardt performance
one of her breasts happen to pop out of her dress. Now do you
see the resemblance? There are quite a few variations on this
with many bakeries substituting the mousse filling with an inferior
butter cream.
