Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- wafers
- round base of dry pastry
- apricot cooked to the thread

Instructions
- Stick the wafers directly onto a round base of dry pastry, using either apricot cooked to the thread or sugar cooked to the crack.
- If helpful, set a Charlotte mould on the dry-pastry base to hold the wafers, and remove it once they are stuck.
- Garnish with the sweetened, vanilla-flavoured whipped cream, mounding it into a pyramid.
- Dot the surface with the paper cornet, using the same cream lightly tinted pink.
