Homemade Bakery-Style Almond Croissants

You’ve probably seen them on the counter of some of your favourite bakeries, almond croissants! Almond croissants are a very popular bake and I can definitely understand why… A perfectly crunchy croissant, filled with almond frangipane (almond cream) and topped with flaky almonds and dusted with powdered sugar, YUM!

These homemade almond croissants are ridiculously easy to make and are the absolute perfect way to use up any leftover croissants. Plus, this would be the perfect recipe to impress your friends with during brunch.

Fresh vs Stale croissants

This recipe specifically calls for stale croissants, you want them to be stale because fresh croissants would just crumble all over the place when you slice them open and having a stale croissant will help with soaking up that delicious sugar syrup. Plus, the croissants are baked in the oven again which will revive that cruncy texture.

Can I save these croissants for later?

Absolutely! However, I would recommend consuming them on the day of baking. If you do want to store these, I would recommend freezing the croissants in a ziplock bag after step 5 of the recipe. So when they are all filled and ready for the oven, this would be the moment to freeze them and bake off whenever you need them. The perfect preparable brunch addition!
