9 Sugary, Custard-Filled Bomboloni To Try in NYC - Eater NY

maknains.blogspot.com

Bomboloni are just doughnuts, but very special doughnuts. Round, bulbous, and often made with brioche dough, they conceal a reservoir of thick custard in various flavors. The custard often peeps out through a hole in the top, and that top is more often sprinkled with granulated — not powdered — sugar.

The pastry is enjoying mini-fad status in NYC currently: There’s no better breakfast at the moment, washed down with a good strong cup of coffee. And it is unsurpassed as a late-afternoon snack. You’ll be licking your fingers afterwards.

Angelina Bakery

Pistachio bombolone at Angelina.

This multi-branch Italian bakery is much better than anyone suspects, and any branch produces a range of bomboloni, which change from time to time. The version filled with pistachio pudding is perfectly turned out, so redolent of pistachios that you can smell them even before the pastry reaches your lips. 1675 Broadway, near West 52nd Street, Times Square

Sullivan Street Bakery

The bomboloni are of moderate size at Sullivan Street Bakery.

Their bomboloni are of modest size, and available in chocolate and vanilla, of which the latter is preferred. A perfect snack-size pastry, but so filled with custard you may be wearing a splotch of it on your shirt when you’re done. 533 West 47th Street, between 10th and 11th avenues, Hell’s Kitchen
