Ingredients
Croissants:
- 6 to 8 croissants, 1 to 3 days old 🥐
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios 🥜
- Powdered sugar 🍬
Simple Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water 💧
- 1/3 cup sugar 🥄
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water 🌸
Pistachio Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups pistachio flour 🌰
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar 🥄
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch 🌽
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 🧈
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🍦
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon 🌿
- 2 large eggs 🥚
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream 🥛
Instructions
1. Make the Simple Syrup:
To a pot over medium heat, add the water, sugar, and orange blossom water. Bring to a boil so all the sugar is dissolved and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature so it thickens up. 🍯
2. Prepare the Pistachio Filling:
To a bowl, add the pistachio flour, sugar, cornstarch, salt, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and heavy cream. Beat together until light and fluffy using a stand or hand mixer. 🥣
3. Assemble and Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥
- Slice the croissants in half to open them up like a book. 📖
- Soak both sides in the simple syrup. Be generous with it. You can brush the syrup on or just dunk it for a more efficient method. 🥄
- Add the pistachio filling across the whole inside. Close the croissant. Add a line of pistachio filling across the top and sprinkle on chopped pistachios. Repeat with the rest of the croissants. 🥐
- Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until crispy all around. ⏳
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy! ❄️
