Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Store-bought croissant dough
- 200 g Plain Greek yoghurt
- 250 g Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the plain Greek yoghurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
Chop the pineapple chunks into small pieces if they aren't already bite-sized. Drain any excess juice if using canned pineapple.
Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the yoghurt mixture on the wider end of each croissant triangle.
Add a few pieces of pineapple on top of the yoghurt mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Gently roll each triangle from the wider end to the pointed tip, forming a croissant shape. Tuck the ends slightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it lightly over the top of each croissant for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
