Description
Chocolate Pistachio Cream Croissants are a decadent bakery-style dessert featuring buttery croissants stuffed with pistachio cream and dipped in rich chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large buttery croissants (bakery or store-bought)
- 3/4 cup pistachio cream spread (or pistachio butter)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (to loosen pistachio filling, optional)
- 8 oz milk chocolate (chips or chopped bar)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate dip)
- 2 Tbsp white chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 1–2 tsp pistachio cream (to tint/flavor the drizzle)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
- Optional garnish: sliced strawberries, extra chocolate squares, chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Warm croissants (optional): For extra flakiness, warm croissants at 300°F for 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Make pistachio filling: Stir pistachio cream with heavy cream until thick but spreadable/pipeable.
- Stuff croissants: Slice each croissant lengthwise (don’t cut all the way through). Spoon or pipe pistachio cream generously inside.
- Melt chocolate: Microwave milk chocolate in 20–30 second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if using.
- Dip/coat: Spoon chocolate over the tops (or dip the tops) so it drapes down the sides like a glaze.
- Pistachio drizzle: Melt white chocolate, then stir in 1–2 tsp pistachio cream to create a light green drizzle. Drizzle over the chocolate-coated croissants.
- Set: Chill 10–15 minutes until the chocolate firms up. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Serve with strawberries and extra chocolate.
Notes
- Use high-quality croissants for best texture.
- Adjust pistachio cream thickness with heavy cream as needed.
- Chill dipped croissants briefly for clean slicing.
