Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Vegan puff pastry
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 100 grams Vegan butter
- 60 ml Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 50 grams Sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon Raw sugar
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 6 equal triangles.
In a medium bowl, cream together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and vegan butter until smooth.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the almond cream mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of almond cream on the wider part of each puff pastry triangle. Spread slightly to cover but avoid getting too close to the edges.
Roll the triangles starting from the wide end and shape each into a crescent as you place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, bring 3 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of raw sugar to a simmer to make a sugar syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Brush each croissant with the sugar syrup using a pastry brush.
Sprinkle the tops with sliced almonds and a little extra sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Let the croissants cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
