A crisp shell, a crunchy chocolate biscuit, and a melting heart... With Eugénie, Ladurée has created a delicacy unlike any other, instantly recognizable by its shape, its colors, and its unique balance of textures. Now available in eight iconic flavors and reimagined each season in limited editions, this signature chocolate biscuit elegantly reinterprets the art of indulgence with generosity and character.
A CHOCOLATE BISCUIT DEFINED BY THREE DISTINCT TEXTURES
The conception of Eugénie explores novel textures and flavours. Each element, from the intensely chocolate shell to the smooth insert, demonstrates a meticulous quest for perfect balance. The carefully selected chocolate of the shell offers a seductive contrast with the sweetness of the heart, revealing a biscuit of captivating finesse and originality.
BEHIND EUGÉNIE, JULIEN ALVAREZ
Created by Julien Alvarez, Pastry Chef of Maison Ladurée, Eugénie was born from the desire to create an indulgence entirely of its own. Every detail has been carefully designed to give it a distinctive identity: a perfectly round shape, vibrant pop colours and the Ladurée monogram delicately embossed on its surface.
Over time, Eugénie has established itself as one of the House’s signature creations, a biscuit whose name is as memorable as its taste.
Ten Flavours, Including Two Seasonal Creations
Perfect for an elegant afternoon break, Eugénie is Ladurée’s signature chocolate biscuit, available in eight signature flavours: Pistachio, Vanilla, Rose, Passion Fruit, Caramel, Chocolate, Strawberry and Hazelnut. For the Autumn 2026 season, discover two limited edition creations: Blackcurrant & Violet and Tarte Tatin Apple.
an Original Creation
A Savoir-Faire of Excellence
Eugénie is crafted as a refined interplay of textures and flavours, where every layer contributes to a harmonious tasting experience. The rich chocolate coating brings depth and intensity, while the delicate creamy centre adds softness and balance. Together, they unveil a biscuit that is both elegant, distinctive, and irresistibly indulgent.
Eugénie doesn't just sound elegant, it borrows its name from Empress Eugénie de Montijo, a contemporary of Louis-Ernest Ladurée, who opened the house's first Paris bakery in 1862. A patron of the arts and something of a trendsetter in her own right, the Empress represents the kind of bold, forward-looking woman Ladurée has chosen to celebrate through this creation, a quiet nod to a golden era of Paris the house has always considered part of its own story.
Seen before it's tasted
Unmistakably Eugénie
Round, colourful and stamped with a crowned “L,” Eugénie borrows its shape from Ladurée’s most famous creation, the macaron, while carving out an identity entirely its own. Each box from the permanent collection is dressed in a reimagined toile de Jouy pattern. It’s the kind of detail that rewards a closer look, and part of why Eugénie tends to catch the eye before it reaches the palate.
Timeless Flavours, A Modern Signature
A glimpse of the full range
Eugénie is presented in a palette of delicate flavours that have helped shape Ladurée’s reputation, reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility.
Vanilla: A delicate, fragrant centre infused with Madagascar vanilla, expressing its richness with elegant intensity.
Caramel: A comforting indulgence, where the smooth, buttery notes of salted caramel meet the crispness of milk chocolate.
Chocolate: A crisp dark chocolate shell, a caramel centre made with 68% Nyangbo chocolate, and a sablé biscuit for an intensely chocolatey experience.
The permanent collection also includes Pistachio, Rose, Strawberry, Hazelnut and Passion Fruit.
Eugénie sits within a wider world of chocolate biscuits at Ladurée, alongside familiar names like the Langues de Chat. What sets it apart is texture, where most biscuits offer one bite, Eugénie offers three in one: a crisp sablé, a soft centre, and the snap of a chocolate shell. It's this layering that has made it one of the house's most talked-about creations since its debut in 2023.
“With Eugénie, I wanted to create an indulgent treat that is instantly recognizable, both through its appearance and the pleasure it brings from the very first bite.”

Exclusive to boutiques, just for the season
MEET THE BIG EUGÉNIE
For back-to-school season, Eugénie returns in a larger format, available only in Ladurée boutiques, for a limited time. Same biscuit, same contrast of textures, simply built to share, or to make the everyday return to routine feel a little less ordinary. The Grand Eugénie will be available from September 2 to November 4, at €7.
The name pays tribute to Empress Eugénie de Montijo, a contemporary of Louis-Ernest Ladurée and a well-known patron of the arts in 19th-century Paris.
Eugénie biscuits keep for 6 to 7 weeks when stored in a dry place at a maximum ambient temperature of 18 °C.
Store your Eugénies in a dry location, away from moisture and heat sources, at a temperature not exceeding 18 °C. Avoid the refrigerator, as humidity can alter the texture of the sablé base and the chocolate shell.
While Eugénie borrows its round shape and colourful presentation from the macaron, it's built differently - a sablé base, a melting centre, and a chocolate coating, rather than two almond shells joined by a filling.
Created in 2023, Eugénie is a signature Ladurée creation featuring a crunchy sablé biscuit, a delicate melting heart, and a crisp chocolate shell. It is available in a variety of iconic flavors, including vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, strawberry, passion fruit, pistachio, and rose.
