Coussin de Lyon.

One of the most delicious thing I’ve ever eat !
The blue color is due to curaçao.

Very colorful with an interesting history.

Je n'en ai jamais goute !

[Corinne]

@corinnec J’en avais goûté chez des amis lyonnais , mais c’est une spécialité qui bizarrement ne s’exporte pas , pas fous c’est lyonnais, ils gardent ce petit délice pour eux ! C’est un subtil mélange de chocolat, poudre d’amande sucré et liqueur de curaçao, et c’est tellement beau !

[Corinne C]

@cocobella oui, la couleur bleue est tres lumineuse !

[Shutterbug]

Sounds like a perfect Valentine’s gift, but maybe they should make it red for today. I love that color though. Beautiful and delicious.

[Corinne]

@shutterbug49 you’re right, it would be fab in red with a cherry liquor flavor !

[KWind]

Love the vivid colour.

[Kathy A]

That certainly looks interesting. Is it chocolate inside? I did click on your link but I cant read French

[Boxplayer]

How delightful, wonderful vibrant colours.

[Boxplayer]

@kjarn having skimmed the French, I can confirm it is chocolate inside! Sounds like a dream with the curacao.

[Kathy A]

@boxplayer thank you, it does sound wonderful

[Corinne]

@kjarn yes Kathy the inside is a mix of chocolate and almond paste, but it’s hard to have the exact recipe , it’s a creation of one family in Lyon and they keep it secret so you can only find them there

[Kathy A]

Thanks for the explanation Corinne, they sound wonderful

[Fisher Family]

Well, it is certainly colourful!
