Pineapple bun cream
Butter seems to be the common theme of things found sandwiched in a pineapple bun, but have you ever considered frozen cream instead? Ours Kissa-Ten (yes, we know, what a name) makes a Japanese-style pineapple bun called Pineapple Danish with Cream ($22). But why a Danish, you ask? Because these pastries are slightly smaller than the traditional pineapple bun. But fret not—when baked to perfection, the crunchy crust we know and love covers a larger surface area than we’d get with a regular pineapple bun. The Danish is then sliced exactly at 45 degrees before you get to choose what flavoured slab of frozen cream you would like to add: plain cream, cream cheese, match, strawberry, or chocolate!
