Pear and Orange Blossom Vanilla Cream Cruffin with Almond Praline at Cafe Babette

You may have an idea of what French pastries are all about but let me tell you this. You are not prepared for Cafe Babette.

Self-taught owner, Cheyenne Norris, is doing things with croissant dough the likes of which Indy has never seen. 

I recommend cutting this down the middle to watch all the layers of goodness cascade out.  The housemade pear jam is so delicate against the backdrop of velvety orange-zested vanilla cream, hidden in a perfectly flaky croissant tower with a praline crunch on top that is pure magic. 

This cruffin is a masterpiece of texture and flavors that culminate in a dopamine spike that will keep you smiling for days.
