Dominique Ansel is at it again with his tantalizing new creations. The newest indulgence is interlocking churro pyramids, called the "Churro Duo."
According to Foodbeast, the "Churro Duo" pyramid-shaped sweets are available at Ansel's bakery in Tokyo, Japan. They feature a 3-D pyramid effect, and customers are having a lot of fun just playing with them.
You're not only looking at two churros linked together, but two types as well. The lighter pyramid has white sesame and cinnamon sugar, while the darker one has black sesame and black sugar coated on. Okay, so the two types aren't much different, but if you do too much it won't still be a churro, right?
The cute little pyramids are served with a side of salted caramel sauce for dipping, if you can bring yourself to break up the pyramids, that is.
Currently, the pyramids are only available in Japan, but if you are in the States or the U.K., don't get too sad about it. Refinery 29 reports that, "In one of his Instagram posts about the ChurroDuo, Ansel wrote, 'Currently only our @dabjapan has this new item, but I'm pretty tempted to bring it to NY and London.'"
So, there's hope after all! Sure you can get regular pieces of the fried, cinnamon-y dough at local bakeries already, but you can't get these just anywhere. Once you have the opportunity to try them, it'd be a waste not to.
The warm dessert was introduced on Nov. 18, and clearly, as you can see from Ansel's quote above, it's doing very well. Keep an eye out for it to begin spreading among Ansel's bakery locations, as it's bound to do.
While you're at it, or just to keep your sweet tooth satisfied in the meantime, make sure and try the bakery's cronuts, blossoming hot chocolate (which is really pretty!), Magic Souffles and DKAs. There's no shortage of creative deliciousness at the Dominique Ansel bakery, so if you happen across one, don't look it over just because there's no "Churro Duo" there. Stop in for something that will be just as satisfying.
