Ingredients
- 60 grams butter at room temperature
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 egg
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 6 croissants
- 1 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Before you start, preheat oven to 170°C.
- Make filling. Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add vanilla and egg and mix well. Fold in ground almonds until fully incorporated.
- Use a bread knife to slice croissants through the middle so you can open them up like a sandwich.
- Fill croissants. Spoon 2 tablespoons of almond mixture onto the base of each croissant and spread out evenly to the edges, then close the lid. Spoon 1 tablespoon of almond mixture onto the tops of each croissant and spread out to the edges.
- Top croissants. Place the sliced almonds onto a plate. Pick up each croissant and place them in the sliced almonds, top side down so they stick to the filling mixture. Press down firmly and squash slightly.
- Place croissants on a lined oven tray and bake in oven for about 15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve with a cup of coffee!
