Dariole is a French term meaning a small culinary mold in the shape of a truncated cone. The word also refers to the dessert that is baked in the mold. Classically, the dessert is an egg-custard filled puff pastry, but an early 20th century recipe replaces the traditional custard with liquor-laced frangipane. Today there are also savory darioles, usually made with vegetable custards. These were also cooked as dessert in the Middle Ages and sometimes they included fruit, cheese, bone marrow or fish inside the pastry. They were very popular in the Middle Ages.
