Recommended Way to Eat<\/h2>\r\n
\"Cream<\/div>\r\n

First, let us introduce a tip for eating neatly.<\/p>\r\n

\u2460 Gently shake side to side<\/h3>\r\n
\"Shake\"<\/div>\r\n

Start by placing the cream puff in your hand and gently shaking it from side to side. While carrying it home from the shop, the cream inside tends to shift. By shaking it, the cream can be evenly redistributed.<\/p>\r\n

\u2461 Split it in half from the center<\/h3>\r\n
\"Split<\/div>\r\n

If you bite into a cream puff as-is, the cream might spill out and get on your face. Also, some may feel awkward opening their mouth wide in front of others. By splitting it in half, more edges are created, making the bite smaller and easier to eat without getting cream on your cheeks. You can also turn the choux pastry into a base like a plate, reducing the chance of cream spilling out.<\/p>\r\n

How to Eat with Knife and Fork<\/h2>\r\n
\"Cream<\/div>\r\n

Next, here\u2019s how to enjoy a version where the cream is sandwiched between choux pastry. At caf\u00e9s, it\u2019s often served with a knife and fork, so here\u2019s how to use them properly.<\/p>\r\n

\u2460 Start with the top<\/h3>\r\n
\"Start<\/div>\r\n

First, remove the top layer of choux pastry resting on the cream with your hands. Then, using a fork, take your desired amount of cream and enjoy it together with the top piece.<\/p>\r\n

\u2461 Cut and eat with a knife<\/h3>\r\n
\"Cut<\/div>\r\n

After finishing the top, use the knife and fork to cut bite-sized pieces from the edges and enjoy. If the cream inside makes it difficult to cut, you can reduce the amount of cream by eating some first. This way, the cream won\u2019t spill out as easily.<\/p>\r\n
