Ingredients

Frangipane Filling

  • ½ Cup (115 g) Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • ½ Cup & 1 Tbsp (115 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup (112 g) Ground Almonds
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Matcha Powder
  • 2 Eggs, Large, Room Temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon All-Purpose Flour

Croissants Assembly

  • 6 Croissants, a few days old
  • ¼ cup Simple Syrup
  • ¼ cup Sliced Almonds

Topping

  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Matcha Powder

Instructions

  1. Make the Frangipane: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar for 3 minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients and Eggs: Gradually add the ground almonds, matcha powder, and kosher salt in three parts, alternating with each egg, mixing between additions until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Flour: Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and combine thoroughly. Transfer the completed frangipane filling to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Prepare Croissants: Slice each croissant in half lengthwise and brush the interior sides with simple syrup. If croissants are tall, gently flatten them so the frangipane bakes evenly between the halves.
  5. Assemble Croissants: Pipe a few tablespoons of the chilled almond cream inside the bottom half of each croissant. Place the top half on, then pipe more almond cream on top and sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the surface. Refrigerate assembled croissants for 30 minutes to let the filling solidify; alternatively, store overnight in the fridge to bake fresh the next day.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the croissants for 18-20 minutes until the sliced almonds turn golden brown and the filling is set.
  7. Finish and Serve: Combine powdered sugar with matcha powder and dust the baked croissants lightly before serving for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • If croissants are taller than 4 inches, gently flatten to ensure proper baking of frangipane between croissant halves.
  • Using croissants that are a few days old helps them hold the filling better without becoming soggy.
  • The assembled croissants can be refrigerated overnight before baking for a fresh morning treat.
  • Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for best mixing results in frangipane.
