More cream puff tasting! These were 'cookie-choux's (クッキーシュー), which kind of reminds me of melon-pan. It's basically the regular choux pastry, but has a layer of cookie on top. Makes the exterior more cripsy/crunchy and sweet!
It looks really cool too. This one is dusted with icing sugar
The pastry cream could have been the tiniest bit runnier, but it was still delicious. Not too sweet, it was a good balance considering the cookie and icing sugar layer. And there are those lovely vanilla seeds :)
The patisserie we bought these from looked pretty lonely, so we had our doubts about the quality, but these tasted really good! I've decided I definitely prefer a crunch to the pastry (there are some pretty soft/soggy choux pastry shells out there!) and the cookie layer really helps.
This was a spontaneous decision. It was on sale at a cheaper patisserie at a mall.
This had a mixture of custard and whipped cream, which was yummy. As you can tell though it wasn't distributed too well and there was too much pastry and not enough cream! The pastry also seemed kind of chewy and almost... oily? Either way, there was too much of it and it was like eating a sandwich. Good to see those lovely vanilla seeds though.
I think I'm getting the experience to level up to... a profiterole connoisseur??
