This Valentine's Day, Say It With A Kouign Amann...Make That Three.

This Valentines's Day, why not do something different and ditch the box of chocolates? Make this Valentine's Day even more special with a box of Kouign Amann Hearts from KA by Cicou...

Chef Cyrille Soenen of Brasserie Cicou and KA by Cicou takes the classic French Kouign Amann and transforms it once again just in time for Valentine's Day. The delicate puff pastry composed of thin layers of dough, butter, and sugar are given a new look with its Valentine-themed heart shapes. The familiar soft and chewy dough with its crisp outer layer for contrasting textures and the rich buttery notes remain as pronounced as the original, and you'll definitely want three of these for that Valentine's Day statement.

The tart strawberry coulis adds a sweet sharpness to balance the buttery richness of the Kouign Amann, and the cream cheese provides the finishing rich notes in every bite. KA by Cicou succeeds once again in reinventing the traditional Breton pastry with its newest seasonal creation. It's been said that many have tried to replicate the traditional Kouign Amann, but few succeed. And only Chef Cyrille Soenen brings you the comforting and rustic layered pastry with its bold buttery richness and caramelized sugar in his authentic Kouign Amann. This Valentine's Day, say it with Kouign Amann Hearts from KA by Cicou...
