A Jésuite is a triangular, flaky pastry filled with frangipane cream and topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar.[1] The pastry originated in France and the name refers to the triangular shape of a Jesuit's hat.[2] A similarly-named sweet pastry known in Portugal and Spain, the jesuíta, consists of puff pastry filled with custard.[3] In Germany, Jesuitermützen are a custard-filled pastry traditionally cut into triangles.[3]
A similarly-named Uruguayan dish is the jesuita, a baked ham and cheese sandwich with a puff pastry crust commonly eaten in parts of South America and considered a classic of Argentinian cuisine, where it is known as a fosforito.[4][5][6] In Argentina, jesuita is a very popular dish in many provinces. Rectangular in shape, it's made from puff pastry stuffed with ham and cheese, and covered with a sweet crust.[7]
