Conical Cream Puffs

Japan's Quatre Feuille Serves Its Cream Puff Dessert Like an Ice Cream Cone

There are usually no complaints from anyone eating a cream puff dessert but if anything, pastry chef Osamu Moriwaki finds that people are too pressed for time to enjoy sweets.

As of May 19th, Moriwaki just opened a new branch of the Quatre Feuille pastry shop in Hiroshima Station. With such a prime location in Japan, he set out to create a dessert that would be both delicious and convenient. The result is what Moriwaki is calling a 'Crème Marche' and it's essentially a cream puff custard cone. Instead of a hard cone, the puff pastry itself acts as a cone, which is filled with custard cream and topped with anything from sprinkles of powdered sugar to drizzles of chocolate or lemon.
