Ingredients
- 4 large day-old croissants
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- pinch salt
Sugar Syrup
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- Drizzle of almond or vanilla extract
Toppings
- Powdered sugar
- Almonds
Instructions
- Combine the sugar syrup ingredients in a pan on the stovetop until the sugar is melted. Or you could microwave instead. Once melted, then set aside.
- Add the room-temperature butter and mix well; you can use a spatula or your hand to help.
- Add the egg, and mix well again before adding the vanilla extract.
- Slice the croissants in half, either all the way or enough to make a pocket.
- Brush the inside of the croissant with about 1 tablespoon of the syrup.
- Spoon a few tablespoons of the butter inside and then close the croissant.
- Place all of the filled croissants on a lined baking tray, and brush the top of the croissants with the remaining almond cream.
- Add sliced almonds and bake at 350℉ for 12-15 minutes or until the almonds are golden brown.
Notes
- Don’t add too much almond cream as the croissant might get soggy! It is recommended that you use 2 tablespoons for each one.
- Don’t serve it when it’s fresh out of the oven, wait at least 5 minutes for it to cool down. I promise you it tastes so much better!
- To ensure that your croissants remain crispy, let them cool on a wire rack, not on a baking sheet.
