Crème chiboust is a crème pâtissière (pastry cream) lightened with meringue, though whipped cream is sometimes substituted for the meringue. It is the filling for the gâteau St-Honoré, supposedly created and developed in 1847 by the pastry chef M. Chiboust of the pastry shop that was located on the Paris street Rue Saint-Honoré.[1] It is sometimes called "Crème Saint Honoré".
