Maritozzi pistachio cream bun at Gelatorino

Ever since I saw these Devonshire splits with generous cream at Fortitude and various other bakeries, I have been dreaming to get my hands on it but it wasn't easy because you have to get there early or patiently wait as the queues are long.

I stumbled upon these Italian style ones called Maritozzi from Rome which are brioche buns filled cream and dressed.

The place that offered it actually specializes in gelato which I might try later but I was pleased with my discovery and they turned out nicer than this sweet treat I was on my way to.

There was hazelnut or pistachio Maritozzi so I had the pistachio because hazelnut is everywhere.

Overall, I was really impressed and enjoyed it because it was light and fluffy while the cream was silky and not overly sweetened.

The pistachio paste they used was a good one again not too sweet with some dryness which you can tell contains a lot of nuts.

It reminded me of the pistachio paste at dal fiorentino.
