Here are some of the new sweets from convenience stores released this week (February 20-24, 2017) that the editorial department actually ate and were particularly delicious!
● 7-ELEVEN "7-ELEVEN Premium Cheese-scented Cookie Sandwich Ice" (183 yen, tax included, same below)
A cookie made from French fermented butter, sandwiched with cheese ice cream. Cream, Gouda, and Camembert "three kinds of cheese" are used for ice cream.
The moist and crispy cookies have a rich buttery scent and a slight salty taste. The tightly sandwiched ice cream has a slight cheese acidity, but it has a refreshing aftertaste with no habit.
Cookies have a strong presence, so if you like cookie sandwich ice cream, please try it! I also liked the fact that the ice cream wasn't too sweet, and I really liked it.
By the way, when it comes to cheese ice cream, the 7-ELEVEN-Limited " MOW Special Strawberry Fromage " (173 yen) released on February 8 is also recommended because it has a lot of dessert and is delicious.
● FamilyMart "Strawberry Caramel Pafe" (270 yen)
One vote because the fluffy mouthfeel and the scent of cherry blossoms made me feel like I was in the spring.
A parfait with layers of cherry-flavored whipped cream, crushed strawberry sauce, chewy jelly-like caramel, milk mousse, and strawberry jelly. It is topped with shaved Sakura chocolate.
I was happy because I suddenly tasted spring from the first bite. As you continue to eat, the sweetness of strawberries, the aroma of caramel, and the mellow richness of milk mix in your mouth.
● Lawson "Snow Bomb" (320 yen)
A mini-sized product of the popular Christmas cake "Snow Bomb".
The moist and fluffy sponge is stacked in 3 layers. The whipped cream that wraps it melts when you put it in your mouth, and the milky sweetness spreads gently. Both the sponge and the cream are light in the mouth, so you can go with it!
Custard cream with vanilla beans is sandwiched between the sponges, and the richness of the plump egg adds a change to the taste. Strawberry accents that are neither too sweet nor too sour are just right!
● Ministop "Chocolatier Mont Blanc" (280 yen)
A cake supervised by Chef Eguchi, a chocolatier of the sweets shop "Delimo". It looks like Mont Blanc, but it tastes like a perfect chocolate cake.
Everything from top to bottom is chocolate ... I thought, but there was plenty of white milk cream inside. A mellow sweetness is added to the firm bitter chocolate cream. When mixed in the mouth, it becomes an exquisite anba.
The chocolate chips in the milk cream and the crispy chocolate puffs topping accentuate the texture. Anyway, the chocolate is rich, so if you like chocolate, please try it!
--that's all. Did you find the new sweets you care about this week? By all means for an afternoon snack!
