Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need for Easy Pistachio Croissants:

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated croissant dough
  • ½ cup pistachio paste (or pistachios, ground into a paste)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: Chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Pistachio Filling:

  1. Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the pistachio paste, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined. If the paste is too thick, add a small amount of water or milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.

Assemble the Croissants:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the croissant dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles, as indicated on the package.
  3. Add the Pistachio Filling: Place a small spoonful of the pistachio filling near the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as it can spill out during baking.
  4. Roll the Croissants: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough toward the point, gently shaping the croissant as you go.
  5. Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over each croissant for a golden, shiny finish.

Bake and Serve:

  1. Bake the Croissants: Arrange the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  2. Garnish (Optional): Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped pistachios over the croissants for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
  3. Cool and Serve: Let the croissants cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best texture and flavor.
