What made Danny orgasmic

[janedavitt]

I googled the pastries that Danny and Chin were gorging on in last night's episode:

Liliha Bakeries make the coco puffs and this is how the blogger describes them:

It’s a small puffed pastry filled with a creamy chocolate pudding and topped with a thick, semi-hard, vanilla and coconut frosting. They are similar to an eclair, but much better. Coco puffs are refrigerated, but with the first bite, they melt in your mouth.



They sound divine, apart from the coconut. Not a fan of that...

ETA And this is the frosting if you want to try a version at home:

It sounds like a cream puff, but with the chocolate and vanilla reversed - a cream puff is a pastry with vanilla cream/pudding inside and topped with melted chocolate.

I make these from scratch, so clearly I need to try adding cocoa to the pastry and the pudding.

Heck, I should just always add chocolate to everything....

I cannot see how that would ever be a bad idea :-)

I was just thinking of this for a fic I'm writing and couldn't for the life of me remember what they were called! I was googling "pastry chin bought danny in Hawaii 5-0, dessert danny ate in Hawaii 5-0 etc ..." Everything! and I couldn't find it at all until I happened to see this in one of the search listings. Sad to say this was the highlight of my night and I now have it saved in my favorites, just so I don't forget it again. And yes the recipe looks so good, but I think they're like Crispy Creams, if you can't get the originals fresh from their maker, they're not going to live up to the hype. I would love to try them though.
Thanks for having this entry!

You're very welcome and I'm so glad it came in handy. Yes, they really don't look like they'd travel. Shame :-(
