'''Crème chiboust''' is a [crème pâtissière](/source/cr%C3%A8me_p%C3%A2tissi%C3%A8re) (pastry cream) lightened with [meringue](/source/meringue), though [whipped cream](/source/whipped_cream) is sometimes substituted for the meringue. It is the filling for the [gâteau St-Honoré](/source/g%C3%A2teau_St-Honor%C3%A9), 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](/source/Rue_Saint-Honor%C3%A9).<ref>{{cite news|title=Les meilleurs Saint-Honoré de Paris|url=http://blogs.lexpress.fr/styles/bec-sucre-parigot/2013/05/02/les-meilleurs-saint-honore-de-paris/|accessdate=27 August 2016|work=L'Express|date=2 May 2013|language=fr-FR}}</ref> It is sometimes called "Crème Saint Honoré".

The recipe given by [Jules Gouffé](/source/Jules_Gouff%C3%A9) in ''Le Livre De Patisserie'' begins by gradually adding flour and milk to egg yolks, heating the custard mixture, and gently folding in [meringue](/source/meringue).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gouffe |first1=Jules |title=Le Livre De Patisserie |date=1873 |location=France |page=80 |url=https://archive.org/details/GoufPa/page/n93/mode/2up?q=Saint+Honor%C3%A9}}</ref>

Crème chiboust can be flavoured with [vanilla](/source/vanilla), [orange zest](/source/orange_zest), or [liqueur](/source/liqueur)s.
