Ingredients

Croissants

  • 2 croissants

Pistachio Cream

  • 1 cup heavy/double cream
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoon pistachio paste

Toppings

  • 3 tablespoon chopped pistachios
  • 3 tablespoon pistachio paste (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pistachios: Chop deshelled pistachios finely and set them aside for later use as a crunchy topping.
  2. Whip the cream: Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and add the sugar. Using a hand-held electric whisk, whip the mixture for about three minutes until it starts to thicken.
  3. Add pistachio paste to cream: Incorporate 1.5 tablespoons of pistachio paste into the whipped cream. Continue to whip for another two minutes or until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth pistachio cream.
  4. Prepare croissants: Use a knife to carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally, creating two layers for filling.
  5. Fill croissants: Transfer the pistachio cream into a piping bag or use a spoon to scoop the cream onto the bottom half of each croissant, then close the croissant with the top half.
  6. Top with cream and nuts: Add a generous dollop of pistachio cream on top of the closed croissant, centered. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of the cream to add texture and flavor.
  7. Drizzle with pistachio paste: Drizzle 3 tablespoons of pistachio paste over the croissants. If the paste is too thick for drizzling, mix it with a drop of oil to loosen the consistency.
  8. Serve: Serve these luxurious pistachio croissants immediately alongside tea or coffee for a perfect treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh croissants for the best flaky texture.
  • If pistachio paste is unavailable, substitute with finely ground pistachios blended with a little honey or oil to create a paste.
  • Chilling the whipped pistachio cream slightly before assembling will help it hold shape better.
  • Adjust sugar quantity according to sweetness preference.
  • This recipe is best served fresh to maintain croissant crispness and cream freshness.
