I tried Ministop's autumn / winter menu "Smooth Purin Parfait". It has a strong egg flavor and makes you feel like you are eating a thick, firm custard cream.
The price is 338 yen (excluding tax) and the calories are 310 kcal. A parfait for autumn and winter that has been renewed every year since 2013. Egg "Egroyale" which is particular about pudding as in the previous year. In addition, cream cheese and fresh Hokkaido cream are added to create a rich and smooth finish.
The toppings are removed and heavy soft serve ice cream is sprinkled with twice as much roasted sugar as the previous year to balance the overall aroma and bitterness.
As always, soft serve ice cream has a hardness close to that of ice cream, and it cools the tongue and conveys the sweetness. The roasted sugar has a crisp texture and is a good accent to the soft and sticky mouthfeel of the cream.
The pudding packed tightly from the center to the bottom of the container is smooth as the product name suggests. Not only that, it has a strong egg flavor, and it tastes like solidified custard used for cream puffs and cakes.
It contains plenty of caramel along with the pudding, and when you touch it with your tongue, you will feel a fragrant scent and a sweetness that makes the back of your head dull. On the other hand, if you compare it with the part without caramel, you can see that the pudding itself is actually sweet. It is a cold dessert that you want to enjoy in an air-conditioned place.
