Description

Indulge in these Brownie Batter Croissants, a delightful twist on classic puff pastry that combines the flaky, buttery texture of croissants with a rich, chocolaty brownie filling. Easy to prepare and perfect for dessert or a special treat, these pastries are baked to golden perfection and sprinkled with mini chocolate chips for extra decadence.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Brownie Batter Filling

  • 1/2 cup brownie mix (dry)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

For Egg Wash and Garnish

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: In a small bowl, combine the dry brownie mix with melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a thick, spreadable batter forms.
  3. Cut Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet into 6 equal-sized triangles for easy folding and portion control.
  4. Assemble Croissants: Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the brownie batter onto each pastry triangle, leaving about a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
  5. Roll Croissants: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll it tightly into a crescent shape. Place each rolled croissant onto the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down, which helps maintain their shape during baking.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg to create an egg wash and brush it gently over the tops of each croissant. This step imparts a beautiful, golden color when baked.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Cool & Serve: Allow the croissants to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best taste.

Notes

  • You can use either store-bought or homemade brownie mix depending on your preference.
  • Adding a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie batter intensifies the chocolate flavor.
  • These croissants are best enjoyed fresh on the day of baking but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
