Ingredients
Scale
Croissants
- 2 croissants
Pistachio Cream
- 1 cup heavy/double cream
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1.5 tbsp pistachio paste
Toppings
- 3 tbsp chopped pistachios
- 3 tbsp pistachio paste (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pistachios: Chop deshelled pistachios finely and set them aside for garnishing later.
- Whip the Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a mixing bowl, add sugar, and use a hand-held electric whisk to whip the mixture for three minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Add Pistachio Paste: Incorporate 1.5 tablespoons of pistachio paste into the whipped cream and continue whipping for another two minutes or until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth pistachio cream.
- Slice the Croissants: Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally using a knife.
- Fill the Croissants: Spoon or pipe the prepared pistachio cream generously onto the bottom half of each croissant, then cover with the top half to close.
- Decorate the Top: Add a dollop of pistachio cream on top of the closed croissants in the center and sprinkle with the chopped pistachios for added texture and flavor.
- Drizzle Pistachio Paste: If the pistachio paste is thick, loosen it by mixing in a drop of oil. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons of this paste over the croissants.
- Serve: Present the luxurious Easy Pistachio Croissants alongside your favorite tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality croissants for the best texture and flavor.
- Chill the heavy cream before whipping for easier and better results.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar in the cream.
- Pistachio paste can be found in specialty stores or made at home by blending shelled pistachios with a bit of oil.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the croissants with the creamy filling.
