Tiramisu Croissants

Ingredients

• 4 Store-bought croissants (Costco croissants recommended)
• 0.75 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream (Cold)
• 4.5 tbsp Icing sugar (4-5 Tbsp)
• 2 tsp Espresso powder (Dissolved in 1 Tbsp warmed cream)
• 1 tbsp Warmed cream (Used to dissolve espresso powder)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• Salt (A pinch)
• Cocoa powder (For dusting (optional garnish))

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. 2

   Place 4 store-bought croissants on a baking sheet and bake for 14 minutes until they are crisped up. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp of espresso powder with 1 Tbsp of warmed cream. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved and set aside to cool.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese, 3/4 cup heavy cream, 4-5 Tbsp icing sugar, the dissolved espresso mixture, 1 tsp vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Whisk the mixture until it reaches a thick, pipeable consistency (stiff peaks). Be careful not to over-whip.

6. 6

   Transfer the tiramisu filling into a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip.

7. 7

   Once the croissants are completely cool, use a knife to make a small opening or slice them partially. Pipe the filling into the center and finish with a decorative dollop on top.

8. 8

   Dust the tops with cocoa powder if desired before serving.

Notes

Ensure the croissants are completely cooled before filling, otherwise the mascarpone cream will melt and lose its structure.
