We put the Picard pistachio log to the test so you don’t have to, and the verdict is in: it is textural perfection. Inspired by the Dubai chocolate bar, it absolutely nails the difficult contrast between crisp pastry and soft cream, a feat that is notoriously difficult in frozen food.
The mousse is airy and light. The pistachio cream is dense and smooth. The biscuit is sandy and solid. But the angel hair? That is the winner. It crunches audibly with every bite, retaining its structure despite being frozen. It provides the necessary “snap” that defines the experience.
For €28.99, it is a technical marvel. It avoids the sogginess that plagues so many frozen pastries. It delivers on the marketing promise, offering a sophisticated mouthfeel that rivals fresh desserts.
The flavor is well-balanced, with the dark chocolate keeping the sweet pistachio in check, but the texture is the real reason to buy this. It is fun to eat. It keeps you guessing and engaged.
If you hate mushy desserts, this is your savior. It is a masterclass in crunch. Highly recommended for anyone who values structure in their sweets.
