New York Desserts Heal Everything ๐
Always mentioned on the list of the โbest Napoleon pastries in New York,โ this treat is truly iconic! ๐ฐ The slice is hugeโyou get a massive piece! ๐ฅง The sweetness is on the higher side, perfect for those with a serious sweet tooth, but even they might find it a bit much to finish in one go. The pastry cream layers are incredibly smooth and rich, with a pure vanilla flavor thatโs both aromatic and delightful. Thereโs no artificial slickness or greasy aftertaste, which makes the sweetness quite acceptable. However, after a few bites, it can still feel a bit overwhelming. ๐ There are two options: berry and plain. ๐ The berry version has a perfect balance of sweet and tart, adding more complexity to the flavor profile. But this can make the layers a bit soggy, so if you prefer a more intense, rich flavor, go for the plain one. ๐ One thing to note is that the quality can be quite inconsistent! ๐ Iโve had instances where the puff pastry was soft and collapsed, making it less enjoyable. ๐ โโ๏ธ But despite this, I still find myself going back for more. ๐ฅบ ๐ฐ Marthaโs Country Bakery ๐ Multiple locations (including Forest Hills, Bayside, and Williamsburg) #SweetToothJoy ๐ฌ #DessertsHealAll ๐
