This mess is the revelation that the hype is real.
Skeptical me had been concerned the cronut from Dominique Ansel Bakery would fall short when I finally have it but nope, it exceeded and then some.
“Life-changing” would not be an exaggeration actually. Especially since this month’s incarnation of the love child between a croissant and a donut, is the “Summer Berry Mascarpone”. Composed of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, the jam filling is thick with fruit and not too sweet. It is match-made with a creamy mascaporne ganache to truly rapturous results.
Get your paws on this if you can. Or pre-order June’s “Peach Pancake” which will have the cronut filled with housemade peach jam and pancake batter ganache. I sure wish I was still in New York next month for that.
Thanks very much again Van for securing the cronuts for me.
