Pastry,

From Cocktail to Confection: How the Piña Colada Pastry Evolved

Our exclusive and new Piña Colada Pastry is a serious flavourful blend of creamy coconut, fresh pineapples, fluffy pastry, a sprinkle of crisped coconut flakes, and of course a cherry on top. Every bite of this pastry will transform you into a tropical paradise. But you don’t have to go far! Visit us at Pastry Prime, Guwahati, Assam, and enjoy the delicious treat.

Enter in the World of Divinity

Pastry Prime is a tropical delight that features a golden, buttery crust bursting with a luscious combination of shredded coconut, a bit of rum essence, and fresh chunks of pineapple. Call for a mini-vacation? Yes! Pina Colada is your answer to it. The appearance of this pastry is typically garnished with a colorful umbrella on top. Unlike the other basic chocolate or a mango or vanilla pastry, you can enjoy this delightful cake as an appetizing daybreak, an afternoon snack, or a refreshing dessert after dinner. Piña Colada Pastry is dynamic as it can be paired with a refreshing iced tea or a hot cup of coffee providing you with the ultimate soulful experience.

Every Piña Colada Pastry has a Silver Lining!

This pastry does not invite any artificial flavor in its recipe as it prefers a more natural choice of pineapples. Pineapples are extremely rich in antioxidants and vitamins, and coconuts in this creation add to healthy fats. So, the pineapple provides a sweet kick to the pastry without the need to add extra sugar. A very affordable option for the health freaks indeed!

The inspiration behind the Piña Colada

The Piña Colada is a recreation of the piña colada, which is a cocktail originating in the mid-20th century in Puerto Rico. Just like the disputed origin of Kung Pao Chicken, this delectable pastry also faces controversy regarding its creator. The tug of war in this case of inventing piña colada rests on Ramon Monchito and Ramon Portas Mingot. The former is believed to have been invented in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the latter also in Old San Juan. Both of them extended to achieve a perfect blend of ingredients inspiring chefs all over the world to recreate it with an innovative and fresh twist in the form of a pastry.
