The Cronut at Dominique Ansel
Well it only took me two years but I finally got the legendary Cronut from Dominique Ansel. I actually got a Monday pre-order right at the start of July which meant no waiting in line and a brand new flavor of the month- Rum Caramelized Banana and Brown Sugar Ganache.
I'm kind of obsessed with Bananas Fosters so getting the Cronut in this flavor was like a dream come true. Thick Banana frosting layered the top with specks of real banana dotting the horizon and layers upon layers of fluffy pastry below stuffed with brown sugar ganache.
The outside of the cronut was where the rum caramelization took place giving the sides a sticky sweet crunch with each bite. I was honestly expecting it to be a bit more flaky like a croissant when in fact it's much more doughy and dense like a doughnut, but incredibly delicious and satisfying nonetheless. I actually ate too many and gave myself a nice tummy ache but that's usually my M.O. No stopping this sweet tooth. Finally...Cronut SUCCESS!
