Pistachio Rose Cream Rolls

Pistachio Rose Cream Rolls are flaky, crunchy rolls filled with cardamom and rose sweetened cream and topped with pistachio dust. 

To make all you need is Kawan Paratha or puff pastry cut into long strips. Wrap the strips around foil or steel pastry tubes and bake until golden and crispy. Fill with cardamom rose sweet cream and garnish with dried roses and pistachio dust.

I absolutely love visiting bakeries in India when we visit. There’s always a lovely mix of new creations along with the classics such as cream rolls, pineapple cakes, black forest cake, and more. These cream rolls are inspired by the ones incased behind bakery glass shelves. 

Cream rolls are the perfect tea time dessert  and have tons of texture from the flaky outside to the creamy interior. The flavors of an all-butter dough and freshly whipped cream are unbeatable! To make things easy we use store bought parathas or puff pastry and cool whip, with a few additions the end result is an absolutely gorgeous Pistachio Rose Cream Roll that’s sure to wow your guests.

Pistachio Rose Cream Rolls Tips & Tricks

• You can use steel pastry cylinders, steel straws, or bamboo wrapped in aluminum foil to wrap your pastry around.
• Brushing it with heavy cream or an egg wash helps give the pastry that glistening golden layer.
• Cool the puff pastry completely before filling with cream.

We’re partnering with Kawan USA this holiday season to share this beautiful dessert that comes together in no time.
