The countess (kontès in Guianan Creole, comtesse in French) is a small shortbread cake, somewhat sweet, typical of French Guianan cuisine. It accompanies a dessert such as fruit sorbets or fruit salads and traditionally uses a fruit juice or champagne.[https://timolokoy.com/blog/index.php/recipe/comtesses-au-maracudja/ Comtesses au maracudja][https://culture-crunch.com/2019/07/30/les-comtesses-la-recette-facile/ Les Comtesses, recette facile]
