cream roll

Sweet stuffed tube

A cream roll is a pastry consisting of a cylindrical or oblong piece of light dough—often puff pastry or choux—filled with whipped cream or custard.

The exterior may be dusted with powdered sugar or glazed.

Regional variations exist: some are similar to cream puffs in elongated form, others closer to filled croissants.
