Ingredients
Scale
Almond Croissant Filling
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Topping
- Sliced almonds (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Mix well to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth base for your filling.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and cream together until smooth. Beat in the egg, almond extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Use the Filling: Use the filling immediately by slicing croissants in half and spreading a generous amount inside before baking or toasting. Alternatively, store the filling in the refrigerator for later use.
- Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the filled croissants before baking to add texture and enhance the almond flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- The filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or commercial egg replacer and use vegan butter.
- Ensure croissants are baked after filling to fully cook the egg in the mixture and develop a golden crust.
