Ingredients

  • 6 croissants store bought or homemade
  • 6 oz mascarpone
  • 12 oz heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar plus more for serving
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Slice the croissants in half and place on a lined baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until golden and slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mascarpone, heavy cream, powered sugar, and vanilla bean paste. Use an electric mixer to whip until stiff peaks form. 
  • Mix together the strawberries and raspberries in a separate bowl.
  • To assemble, spread or pipe a generous amount of the cream onto each croissant, and top with a spoonful or two of berries. Place the top half of the croissant on top and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
