When you think of Ladurée, its colourful, perfectly crafted macarons are probably the first thing that comes to mind. But the iconic French pâtisserie has another indulgent treat worth putting on your radar: the Eugénie.
Designed to bring together several textures in one bite, Ladurée’s Eugénies combine a crisp sablé biscuit with a soft, melting centre and a crunchy chocolate shell.
The result is a sophisticated little sweet treat that feels right at home alongside an afternoon coffee, whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment at home or looking for something special to serve to guests.
What Are Ladurée Eugénies?
For anyone unfamiliar with Eugénies, these bite-sized French treats offer a different experience to Ladurée’s famous macarons.
Each Eugénie is made with a crisp sablé biscuit, paired with a soft filling before being coated in an indulgent crunchy chocolate shell. The combination creates three distinct textures, giving the treat plenty of character despite its small size.
They’re also designed with gifting in mind, arriving in Ladurée’s instantly recognisable gift boxes. That makes them an easy option for anyone looking for a stylish food gift, whether it’s for a birthday, thank you, celebration or simply a little treat for someone special.
A Flavour for Every Sweet Tooth
Ladurée’s Eugénies are available in a selection of flavours, bringing together some of the brand’s classic favourites alongside more seasonal options.
The current range includes Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Hazelnut, Passion Fruit, Caramel, Rose and Pistachio.
For those looking to try something a little different, Ladurée is also offering limited-edition Blackcurrant and Tarte Tatin Apple flavours.
The variety makes the Eugénie collection particularly suited to gifting, allowing you to choose a box featuring different flavours or pick out a personal favourite.
The Perfect Afternoon Coffee Companion
While macarons have long been associated with elegant afternoon treats, Eugénies offer another way to bring a little French indulgence into your day.
Their compact size makes them ideal for pairing with coffee or tea, while the combination of biscuit, filling and chocolate gives them a more substantial bite than you might expect.
They’re equally suited to entertaining, afternoon tea spreads or simply keeping a box nearby when you’re craving something sweet.
