CREAM CHEESE CROISSANT DESSERT



Cream Cheese Croissant Dessert image

I am not normally a fan of desserts...I'd generally rather have the main course twice. However, you can add cream cheese to just about anything and I would gladly eat it! This was given to me by a friend at work and has become a go-to recipe when I need something for carry-ins. It's good warm, cold, room temperature, by itself or smothered in a light fruit topping. I want to try it with fat free cream cheese and Splenda but haven't yet. If you do, let me know how it turns out!

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated croissants
16 ounces blocks low-fat cream cheese (room temp)
1 cup sugar, plus
1 tablespoon sugar, for topping
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg, separated

Steps:

  • Preheat overn to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease a 9X13 baking dish.
  • Open and unroll one package of croissants (do not flatten) and lay at the bottom of the pan. (pinch together the perforated edges as needed.).
  • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg yolk until smooth.
  • Spread mixture on top of croissant.
  • Open the second package of croissants, unroll and lay on top of cream cheese mixture.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until the top layer is very lightly browned).
  • Immediately after baking, brush the top with egg white and sprinkly with remaining sugar.
  • *I sometimes add a little cinnamon to the top as well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cream cheese and butter. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the croissants.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and firm before you start working with it. This will help to create flaky layers in the croissants.
  • Don't overwork the dough. If you do, the croissants will be tough and chewy.
  • Be patient when proofing the dough. This is an important step that allows the yeast to do its work and create a light and airy croissant.
  • Bake the croissants until they are golden brown and flaky.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese-filled croissants are a delicious and decadent pastry that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is filled with a creamy and flavorful cream cheese filling. With a little patience and care, you can easily make these croissants at home.
