Taste – Thumbs down. The taste of this fruto pie was just average. There are multiple things that we did not appreciate. Firstly, the strawberry flavor in the filling is not dominant. Secondly, they felt slightly eggy when we tasted them. That being said, the sweetness is apt. It is not overpoweringly sweet. The overall flavor profile is fruity.

Texture – The texture was a letdown too. The outer layer of the cake was dry and crumbly. Coming to the filling, it lacked the smoothness in texture and a rich mouthfeel. Lastly, it felt quite heavy on the palette.  

These factors resulted in a low score for Lotte Fruto Pie Fluffy Cakes With Strawberry Creme.
