Albert's at 52 west Elm (off of Dearborn) Mousse cakes and the like. Tremendous!  Brasserie Jo at 59 W. Hubbard (off Michigan near the Wrigley building)  We just had fresh berries in Creme Anglaise with home made vanilla ice cream but they have muchmuch more in the vein you are seeking.

A short walk from  Albert's Patisserie is Saint Germain (1210 N. State) (a couple buildings north of Division St.).  Amazing French pastries and home-made breads.  Also has a full dining menu.  The Sunday brunch there is also worth a trip.
