The perfect pistachio pastry cream actually exists!
Rating: 9/10
Palazzolo Acreide is not only famous for its wonderful archaeological site, which is a must-visit, but also for the reputation of Antica Pasticceria Corsino, which stands out for the high quality of its products, including its pistachio desserts.
Corsino truly left us speechless with one of those pastries that are often "mistreated" by other cafes: the wonderfully simple pistachio bignè. To be more precise, given its elongated shape, it is an Eclair, the famous French pastry made with the same pâte à choux as a bignè, then filled with various flavors of pastry cream.
In this case, we are talking about an Eclair filled with a truly sublime pistachio pastry cream, which stuns the palate with the intense flavor of pure pistachio paste. An intense taste, yes, but at the same time perfectly balanced, creating one of the best pistachio creams we have ever tasted in a dessert.
We could have eaten them forever, not only for the incredible pistachio flavor but also for the excellent pastry shell and the superb glaze. A dessert that will surely be appreciated by those who can recognize, and love, the true taste of pure pistachio paste, managing to capture its intense flavor in this excellent pastry cream.
It undoubtedly deserves a rating of 9/10 and is a mandatory stop for anyone in Palazzolo Acreide, as well as one of the desserts that has impressed us the most to date.
