Looking for a delightful brunch treat that’s both impressive and easy to prepare? Look no further! We’ve created a Giant Almond Croissant using store-bought puff pastry, making it a breeze to whip up. With just five ingredients, you can indulge in a delicious almond-filled, wonderfully crisp masterpiece that’s perfect for entertaining a crowd.
Don’t worry if the almond filling isn’t perfectly even – it will spread beautifully as it bakes. Just keep an eye on those lovely almonds on top, and you might want to cover them with foil to prevent burning while ensuring the pastry is perfectly baked. Enjoy this warm with an optional dusting of powdered sugar on top! It’s sure to brighten any gathering!
To make the Giant Almond Croissant, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat 6 tablespoons softened butter with ⅓ cup brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add 1 cup almond flour and beat to combine.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of puff pastry out to form a 16-by-12-inch rectangle.
Transfer one puff pastry rectangle to a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to spread the almond butter mixture in an even layer over the pastry, leaving a ¼-inch border. Brush the edges with melted butter.
Then, top with the second sheet of puff pastry, brushing the top with melted butter. Sprinkle with ⅓ cup of sliced almonds.
Bake until the pastry is deeply golden brown and puffed, for 30 to 35 minutes. If the almonds start to brown too quickly, loosely cover the top with a piece of aluminum foil.
Let cool for 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if you wish.
Slice and serve warm.
