Team Mishry’s Verdict
Visually, Haldiram’s cream cone instantly evokes memories of those classic bakery treats. The oily coating in your mouth seems similar to the one we get at the roadside or your nukkad wali bakery, which adds to its nostalgic appeal (but isn’t appealing).
The cream inside is slightly dense and is not too light, with discernible sugar crystals, giving it a moderately sweet flavor. The exterior of the cream cone has a slightly salty note, while the cream-puff ratio is well maintained.
Texture-wise, it lacks the flakiness and puffiness expected from a traditional cream roll. It does not have the light, airy feel you’d expect.
It comes hygienically packed in a tray and is a decent option to try when fresh bakery versions are unavailable.

- Creamy center

The Bottom Line
In conclusion, while this cream roll evokes a sense of nostalgia visually, the overall taste remains average. Its crisp exterior and creamy center provide a decent texture, but the lack of flaky puffiness impacts the overall experience.
