Almond Stuffed Croissants

Course: dessert
Cuisine: French
Servings: Makes about 4 to 5 croissants
Author: Victoria Brittain

Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 to 5 large croissants, preferably stale
  • 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream
  • Sliced or chopped almonds, for garnish optional
  • Powdered sugar, optional

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a bowl beat butter until smooth and lump free, about 1 to 3 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently.
  3. Add almond flour, sugar, salt, eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined into a uniform paste.
  4. Slice the croissant lengthwise and add some of the filling into the croissants. Adding the paste into a pastry bag or ziptop bag and piping it in makes it much easier.
  5. Brush milk onto the tops of the croissants and top with sliced almonds.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until slightly golden and crispy. Allow the croissants to cool for 25 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
