Description

Enjoy a delightful French-inspired brunch or dessert with these Berries and Cream Croissants. Fresh croissants filled with a luscious mascarpone and whipped cream mixture, topped with juicy mixed berries and a dusting of powdered sugar, make for an easy yet elegant treat perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Croissants

  • 4 large croissants (day-old or fresh)

Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone or cream cheese (softened)

Toppings

  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • Extra powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Fresh mint for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant in half lengthwise, leaving a small hinge so that the halves remain attached and easier to handle.
  2. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Mix the Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, beat the softened mascarpone or cream cheese until smooth to create a creamy base for the filling.
  4. Combine the Cream and Mascarpone: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and fluffy, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
  5. Assemble the Croissants: Spread a generous amount of the cream mixture onto the bottom half of each croissant, then top with the fresh mixed berries.
  6. Close and Garnish: Carefully close the croissants, dust with extra powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  7. Serve or Refrigerate: Serve immediately for the best texture or refrigerate up to 2 hours to chill before serving. Optionally, drizzle with honey or melted white chocolate, or lightly toast croissants before filling for a warm variation.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, drizzle croissants with honey or melted white chocolate before serving.
  • Lightly toast croissants before filling to enjoy a warm, crispy texture with the creamy filling.
  • Use fresh berries of your choice depending on seasonality and flavor preferences.
  • Refrigerate assembled croissants for up to 2 hours for a chilled dessert.
