Who loves Costco, just as much as me? They sell just about anything and EVERYTHING…But what do you do with the pack of 20 croissants you just bought?

This has to be one of my favorite go-to recipes! Buy the Costco Croissants and fill them with homemade Almond Cream and tada! Almond Croissants! Almond Cream is a versatile and delicious filling that’s perfect to add almond flavor to a variety of baked goods. It’s quick, it’s easy and takes about 5 minutes to make!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter (softened)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup ground almond meal

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • almond slivers (optional)

  • powdered sugar (optional)

Place the butter and the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix together.

Next, add the almond meal and mix to combine.

Then add the egg and vanilla, gently beating until all is mixed

Finish by adding the flour and combining until you’ve reached a paste consistency.

Fill the slits in the croissants with the filling.

Bake at 350 or till golden brown, (about 15 minutes)

Sprinkle slivered almonds and dust with powdered sugar.
