Double puff pastry mini croissants with white chocolate, delightful for breakfast or as a snack, accompanied by a delicious cup of tea or homemade fruit juice. Easy to make and especially quick because the puff pastry used is the industrial type. If you don’t like white chocolate, you can replace it with hazelnut chocolate or even some excellent fruit jam. For those with a sweet tooth, I would also recommend my fantastic Lemon-Scented Custard, but a little thicker. In short, enrich the mini croissants with whatever you like best. Every time I get into baking, for any kind of preparation, I always make extra to have a ready-to-use stock. In this case, I prepared several variations of pastries and froze the croissants raw to bake directly from frozen. It will certainly take more time, but the result will be the same.

Ingredients
- 1 package round puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons spreadable white chocolate
- as needed sesame seeds
- 1 egg/milk
Tools
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Pizza cutter
- 1 Spatula
Preparation
Unroll the puff pastry and, keeping it on the parchment paper it is wrapped in, divide it in two with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Spread two tablespoons of spreadable white chocolate over one half, using a small spatula.
Close with the second half, trying to be a bit precise, and again using the pizza cutter, cut it into six wedges.
Starting from the base of the triangle that has formed, roll the pastry on itself to form a croissant. Place all the obtained mini croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (use the one from the pastry) and brush them with beaten egg or milk. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds (or simply with granulated sugar) and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C), static mode. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until well golden.
Once the required time has passed, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Serve our Double Puff Pastry Mini Croissants with White Chocolate slightly warm if you want to feel the creaminess of the white chocolate; otherwise, let them cool to room temperature.
Tips and Storage
You can store the croissants either in a tin or glass box at room temperature, rather than in the fridge, for a few days.
To have a stock ready when needed, you can also freeze them either cooked or raw, but remember to thaw them slowly in the refrigerator or microwave.
If you don’t like sesame seeds, you can sprinkle the mini croissants with whatever you prefer, even just sugar.
