BRIAN'S 100 Best '18

100 BEST ’18: FERRERO MOUSSE at TASTY PASTRY SHOPPE

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

I probably never would have discovered Tasty Pastry Shoppe if it wasn’t for the Dyker Heights Christmas lights. I was hired this year to bring a small group out there to marvel at the giant houses and their holiday displays. But since we were there, I was convinced to find a local Italian pastry shop. And I found one of the best. This gorgeous Ferrero Mousse caught my eye and I was so happy with the calorie splurge, Modeled after the hazelnut chocolate candy, this layered mousse ball has crunch and textures alongside the scrumptious mousse and chocolate cake filling.
