Japanese custard cornet things

Yum! OK I am not 100% sure what to call these. I just bought them in a Japanese food shop. They have the クリ- (kuriimu = custardy stuff) of the famous  シュ- クリ-(shuu-kuriimu = yummy profiterole-type thingy*). But they're not shuu (choux) pastry... rather a puff-pastry 'cornucopia'. And in fact, almost identical to a delicious custard horn thing that was sold by an Italian bakery local to my Aunt's in Tuscany, when I was child.

The only difference, these Japanese ones had chocolate custard as well! (I say 'had' as obviously they are no longer.)



* Beard Papa is a famous, international vendor of these outrageous treats. If you have not been / tried - go now!
