The "cronut" boom continues with the momentum of dropping flying birds. The other day, "Summer" cronuts were released from Circle K Sunkus. It is a chilled dessert "48 layers of donuts " (138 yen) of the original brand "Sheri Dolce" series.


This is my first experience with chilled cronuts. I will buy it at the nearest Sunkus, cool it in the refrigerator, and then eat it.


There are two flavors. "Tsubuan" and "Custard & Whipped".

First of all, let's start with "Tsubuan".


When I cut the inside, I found that there were many layers of thin croissant dough, and many more layers! it's beautiful! If you count this seriously, there will be 48 layers.


The moment I bite into it, my mouth was sick. Since it was kept in the refrigerator, each layer of the dough is chilled and has a crispy and firm texture .

And the gentle sweetness of cold bean paste and the rich buttery dough are the best match! The "Japanese flavor" of croissants is novel, but it goes well with croissants in the first place, so it's not that it's not delicious.

Next, I will eat custard and whipped cream.

When you cut the inside, you can see the custard and whipped cream packed in 48 layers of the dough!


Since the cream is cold, it has a "fluffy" texture rather than a "thick" texture. The rich cream, crispy dough, and chocolate crunch texture combine to make it look like a cronut! It makes you feel the chewy texture. Accented with a slight cacao bitterness.

The bean paste, custard and whipped cream are all sweet, from "an" to toppings, so it's pretty sweet, isn't it? I thought, but the sweetness doesn't linger because it's chilled! This seems to be delicious even in the hot summer.


Cronuts were born in New York, USA, but the evolution unique to Japan does not stop, such as chilling and combining Japanese materials. I would like to expect more and more what kind of new work will appear in the future!
