Fabelle has given the classic croissants a twist with Croissant Supreme with its centre-filled with fillings you cannot resist.
We tried the Dark Chocolate Almond Cremeux Croissant Supreme that were perfectly flaky, shaped like a sphere and has a 64% single origin Ghana cocoa and almond cremeux. These are glazed with rich dark chocolate and almond bits on top. Rs 236-plus per piece
Ruby Chocolate & Cherry Cremeux Croissant Supreme is for you if you are not a dark chocolate fan. The a sour cherry cremeux perfectly balances the sweet notes of the ruby chocolate. Rs 236-plus
Fabelle has launched a range of Berliner (a German delicacy that has doughnut with a filling inside). Fabelle has modified them by introducing exquisite variants. We tried Pistachio, Cranberry & White Chocolate Berliner that had a gorgeous green top with sinful white chocolate cream inside. Take a big bite towards the centre and let magic happen in your mouth.
Offbeat pairing of forest berries, star anise compote and ruby chocolate cream come together flawlessly to create Forest Berry Chocolate Berliner who delicate presentation will fill your heart with happiness. Rs 236-plus per piece.
There's a batch of new eclairs to try from too! We liked Espresso and Chocolate Mousseline Éclair that's intricately crafted with 67 per cent single origin Madagascar dark chocolate, ensconced with a unique blend of lemon curd and a soft espresso jelly.
