Strawberry Almond Croissant
Ingredients
- 4 large croissants preferably day-old
- 1/2 cup almond paste
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Egg wash 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, trying not to crush them.
- Slice each croissant horizontally without cutting all the way through, so it opens like a book. Spread a generous layer of almond paste on one side of the croissant’s interior. On the other side, spread a thick layer of the strawberry cream cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds over the strawberry filling, then gently close the croissants.
- Brush the top of each croissant lightly with egg wash. This will give them a beautiful golden finish.
- Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow the croissants to cool slightly on a wire rack. Before serving, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
