I went to a caffè in Rome earlier today and got one of the pastries on the bottom tray. It had a very dense pistachio filling. It was quite good, although the filling wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. I thought it would be fluffier or creamier, like a doughnut filling, but it was more dense like a frozen cream puff or nougat filling. I want to say it’s a mini sfogliatelle, but I’m not sure.
I told the cashier the completely wrong thing (I said a mini pistacchio cornetto). He didn’t correct me and I didn’t ask, so now I’m just very curious. Any help is appreciated.
