Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large croissants, halved horizontally
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- Extra powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until fully combined and fluffy.
- Slice the croissants in half horizontally, without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket.
- Spoon or pipe the cream filling into each croissant.
- Top with fresh mixed berries. If desired, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
- Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use store-bought croissants for convenience, or bake your own for an extra touch of decadence.
- If using strawberries, slice them thinly to fit better inside the croissants.
- This recipe is easily doubled for a crowd or halved for a quick treat for two.
