Almond Croissants

These almond croissants are flaky, soft, filled with an amazing almond cream, and topped with toasted almonds. Make these for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!
Servings 6 croissants

Ingredients

  • 6 croissants
  • 1 cup + 1 1/2 Tbsp almond flour/meal
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp softened butter
  • 1 cup + 1/8 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp water
  • Sliced almonds to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and slice croissants in half. Don't completely slice off the top from the bottom.

Almond Cream:

  • Sift the almond flour into a medium bowl, breaking up any lumps with a spoon. Add the flour and whisk together.
  • Add the butter into your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and beat (starting on the lowest setting so it doesn't poof everywhere) until fluffy and well combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  • Add half of the almond flour mixture and mix to combine, then add the other half and mix, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add the egg and water and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and from the bottom up to make sure everything's well mixed.
  • Spread 1 1/2 Tbsp of almond cream in each croissant. Spread a good 1 Tbsp on top and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  • Bake for 15-17 min until golden and fragrant. Don't over-bake!
  • Let cool a little bit before dusting with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
