Cooking Tips

• Make sure to handle the pastry dough gently to avoid overworking it and resulting in a tough texture.
• For a variation, you can add fruit preserves or chocolate ganache to the cream filling for added flavor.
• If you prefer a lighter filling, you can use whipped cream mixed with a fruit puree or custard instead.

Storage and Serving

• Cream rolls are best served fresh, as the pastry may lose its crispness over time.
• If refrigerating the cream rolls, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
• You can also freeze the cream rolls for longer storage. Place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
