The fusion of the Mexican concha and the French croissant has recently been a great success. Chef Omar has inspired us to create a unique dessert, the 'cronchas', which combines the best of both culinary cultures. To make this innovative sweet, you first need to shape the characteristic decorative patterns of the Mexican concha and then place the croissants covered with concha dough in the oven, baking them at medium temperature until they are golden and crispy.
Chef Omar did not reveal the exact recipe to make the croissant from scratch, suggesting buying fresh croissants from your favorite French bakery. Once you have the croissants ready, spread the reserved concha dough over each of them. This crossover between Mexican and French cuisine celebrates culinary diversity.
The short film 'Johanne Sacreblu', directed by Camila Aurora, parodies and critiques the French movie 'Emilia Pérez', generating controversy. Inspired by this situation, Chef Omar created the cronchas as a humorous homage to this cultural dispute. This viral dessert has gained popularity on social media, with its characteristic melody and its easy-to-make recipe at home.
If you want to recreate the cronchas yourself, here are the ingredients for the Mexican concha dough: 50 grams of butter, 50 grams of vegetable shortening, 100 grams of flour, and 100 grams of powdered sugar. Mix all these ingredients until you obtain a consistent dough and enjoy this delicious fusion of flavors!
