Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Dairy-free puff pastry
- 150 grams Ground almonds
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 50 grams Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 serving Egg replacer
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk
- 30 grams Slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the ground almonds and powdered sugar until well combined.
Melt the coconut oil and add it to the almond mixture, stirring until the mix is smooth.
Incorporate vanilla extract, almond extract, and prepared egg replacer into the almond mixture; stir until fully combined.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour and gently roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheets to flatten slightly.
Cut each sheet into triangles (approximately six triangles per sheet).
Spoon about a tablespoon of the almond cream mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form crescent shapes.
Place croissants on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them apart.
Brush the tops with almond milk and sprinkle with slivered almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and flaky.
Allow croissants to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
