Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with almond croissants is as easy as gathering your ingredients and following along. Simple Baking Tips Guide on our blog can help if you’re new to baking. First, prepare your workspace by ensuring you have 10 to 12 day-old or store-bought croissants ready, and preheat the oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).

2-Next, make the almond cream filling by mixing 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter at room temperature with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup blanched almond flour, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 large egg at room temperature, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract until smooth. Then, split each croissant in half, and spread about 2 tablespoons of this almond cream on the bottom half of each one.

3-Top with the other half of the croissant, then spread 1 more tablespoon of filling on top. Sprinkle with sliced almonds for extra crunch, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a sweet finish.

Notes

๐ŸŒฐ Use day-old croissants for best texture; they soak up the almond cream beautifully.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Watch baking time closely to avoid over-browning the croissants.
๐Ÿด For added richness, chill the almond cream before spreading to maintain structure.
