Dessert @ Whisk Creamery (Perth)

An Instagram find, Whisk Creamery in Subiaco (Perth WA) is a small shop serving multiple desserts and freshly made Italian gelato. What they are most famous for is the cronut sandwich – a cronut cut in half and filled with gelato, then topped with whipped cream, sauce and toppings. The caramel cronut sandwich seems like the most popular with salted caramel gelato and caramel sauce. However, you can customise it according to your tastes. My sister doesn’t like caramel so she chose the hazelnut gelato and a chocolate sauce. I added the maltesers (I think 60c per topping) to finish it off. This dessert was all going to depend on the cronut. Luckily the cronut was well made – flakey with lots pf pastry layers and held its shape. The gelato was thick but light. I found this dessert a little hard to eat only because it took a while to cut through the cronut and the movement of slicing it with a knife meant the topping slowly wobbled and tipped over. It’s messy to eat but worth it 🙂

Our second dessert was the popular Ispahan of a rose macaron filled with raspberry sorbet, cream and raspberry puree topped with freeze dried raspberries. You can’t tell in the photo, but this was about 8cm in diameter with a very generous swirling of sorbet. In contrast to the cronut sandwich, the Ispahan was a lot lighter and noticeably more sour. The acidity in the sorbet was really emphasised after nibbling at the sweet cronut and gelato. The large macaron wasn’t as soft and chewy as I had expected. A pretty dish but I much preferred the cronut sandwich.

Whisk Creamery also offers other dessert creations like the stardust gelato cone below.
