Hits the Spot: This Gorgeous Cream-Puff Dessert Will Turn Heads at Your Next Party
It's not just a looker, either.
(SPOT.ph) You just can't have a party without a sweet treat on the table. And while most folks would dash to order a cake for that purpose, there are plenty other desserts worth exploring to have as your centerpiece. Consider cream puffs, for example. Though in its default state it's thought of more as an individual treat, it can also form the base of aggregate confections such as croquembouche. Alternatively, there's this similar stunning creation by local purveyor Leonisa's Kitchen—which stars their winning cream puffs formed into the shape of your preferred letter or number, perfect for sharing away!

This dessert comprised of cream puffs will sweep your party guests off their feet:
We've gushed and swooned over Leonisa's Kitchen's cream puffs, which are of the style of choux au craquelin—i.e. the kind where the choux pastry is enrobed by a thin, cookie-like layer that forms a crackled appearance as it bakes. The Letter Cream Puff (starts at P2,500) has a buttery shortbread base on a 10-by-14 inch cake board, topped with cream puffs arranged in the shape of your letter or number of choice. Yay, personalization—go for the first letter of the celebrant's name, or give them your lucky number.
You can also personalize the cream puff flavors; choose as many as you'd like from their nine-flavor roster that includes the Hazelnut Milk Chocolate, Ube Cream Cheese, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry, Black Sesame, Kalamansi Cream with Chocolate Ganache, Mango, Green Tea, and Vanilla.
Beyond its visual appeal, this dessert well delivers on the flavor front. All cream puff variants are rich and dreamy with fresh fruit where applicable, without overloading on the sweetness. The ratio of filling to pastry is excellent, with the pastry being sturdy yet light and easily making way to the lush cream within. Leonisa's Kitchen also tops them with edible decor that are no mere afterthought, being similarly clean and balanced in flavor; you can tell they don't skimp on the great-quality ingredients. Bonus: the shortbread the cream puffs lie on is rightfully crisp yet tender, giving you the telltale taste of real butter.
