Almond Croissant or Croissants Aux Amandes

I absolutely loveeeeeeee Almond Croissants but it can be painful for pay $3.80 each at Gontran Cherrier or $4.20 at Mayson Kaiser for a croissant that they can´t sell! So I decided, just make it and I can eat Almond Croissants all day for a fraction of the cost! Its super simple too!

Use day old croissants so I usually buy it a day ahead. Fresh croissants are soft so its not ideal.

Some recipes call for soaking the croissants in sugar syrup but I tried that and totally hate it because its too sweet ! Dislike!

So all you do is slice the croissants in half like how you would make a sandwich, set the oven to 180 degrees and make the filling

Filling Recipe:-

1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup ground almonds

a pinch of salt

100g butter (softened)

2 eggs

Mix everything in until creamy and lastly add the eggs 1 by 1. Spread about 2 tablespoons in between the croissants. Cover and spread about 1 tablespoons over the croissants and sprinkle sliced almonds. Bake for 15-18 minutes until croissants are golden and firm. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy!!!
