Flat croissant

If you’re looking for a simple dessert to serve your guests or enjoy with a cup of coffee, then you have to try flat croissant. It’s one of the easiest and most delicious desserts I’ve tried. It looks and tastes like the ones served in bakeries but can be made at home with just a few ingredients.

flat croissant Start by flattening a fresh or store-bought croissant, then bake it until it’s golden and crispy.

I’ve tried both ways, and both taste delicious. You can make them from scratch, or you can take it easy and just use store-bought ones. They’re faster and only take 10 minutes to bake in the oven.

You can add any topping you like. I made four different kinds: one with pistachio spread and crushed pistachios, one with chocolate spread and Ferrero Rocher chocolate, one with cheesecake and fresh fruit, and one with a mix of chocolate spread and pistachio spread. But feel free to add any topping that you prefer.

store bought croissant

chocolate spread of your choice

pistachio spread of your choice

crushed pistachios

Ferrero Rocher or wafer chocolate or any other kind of chocolate of your choice

fresh fruit preferably berries

cheesecake cream topping ( 1 cup whipping cream +1/4 cup powdered sugar+ 2 tbsp softened cream cheese)

1; Take store-bought croissants and flatten them with a rolling pin, rolling a few times until they’re flat. Place them on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 to 12 minutes.

2; When you take it out of the oven, it will be crispy on the outside but still a little soft. Let it cool down, and it will become harder and more firm.

3; When it’s completely cooled down, start by adding the topping that you like. I made mine with pistachio spread and crushed pistachios, and another one with chocolate spread topped with Ferrero Rocher. Or, you can add any chocolate you like. I also made one with cheesecake topping that I prepared ahead of time and topped it with fresh fruit, and one with a mix of chocolate and pistachio spread.

4; To make the cheesecake topping, in a mixer, add cold whipping cream and powdered sugar, and mix until stiff peaks form. Then, add soft cream cheese and mix again. Place the mixture in a piping bag, then refrigerate before using.

5; The ones with chocolate and pistachio spread can stay out of the fridge, but the one with cheesecake topping shouldn’t stay out of the fridge for a long time.
