New York Roll: the viral delicacy that makes TikTok salivate
We prefer to warn you, this pastry promises to make the defenders of the sacrosanct croissant howl, since it is inspired by it with a lot of freedom. It steals its puff and caramelized pastry, adopting a circular shape which allows it to be filled with pastry cream, spread or even a ganache with various flavors, like a donut covered with glaze. Sacrilege for some, brilliant idea for others, to see the enthusiasm aroused by this most decadent delicacy, it is rather the second team that seems to win. Indeed, many are the sweet beaks who salivate in front of this little sweetness to the point of sometimes queuing for hours to taste it.
Originally known as « The Supreme »it is in the kitchens of the Lafayette Grand Cafe & Bakery in New York what was born this hybrid which has since made its way from France.
No need to cross the Atlantic to enjoy a New York Roll worthy of the name, several pastries – mainly Parisian – have made it their flagship product and have found themselves for several weeks taken by storm by a horde of gourmands eager to taste the most viral candy of the moment, which is selling like hot cakes.
