Double Puff Pastry Mini Croissants with White Chocolate, delightful for breakfast or 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 store-bought kind. If you don’t like white chocolate, you can replace it with hazelnut chocolate or some excellent fruit jam. For the sweet-toothed, I would also recommend my fantastic Lemon Scented Custard, but a bit thicker. In short, enrich the croissants with whatever you like best. Every time I get my hands into dough, in any type of preparation, I always make more to have a ready-to-use stock. In this case, I prepared several sheets with different flavors and froze the raw croissants, which I will bake directly from frozen. It will surely take more time, but the result will be the same.

Ingredients
- 1 package round puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons spreadable white chocolate
- to taste sesame seeds
- 1 egg/milk
Tools
- 1 Baking tray
- 1 Pizza cutter
- 1 Spatula
Preparation
Unroll the puff pastry and, keeping it on the parchment paper it comes with, divide it in half using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Spread two tablespoons of spreadable white chocolate over one half using a spatula.
Close with the second half, trying to be somewhat precise, and using the cutter, cut into six wedges.
Starting from the base of the triangle formed, roll the pastry onto itself to form a croissant. Arrange all the mini croissants obtained onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper (use the one from the puff pastry) and brush them with beaten egg or milk. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds (or simply granulated sugar) and bake in a preheated static oven at 392°F (200°C). Bake for about 15 minutes or until well golden.
Once the necessary 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 enjoy the creaminess of the white chocolate, otherwise let them cool to room temperature.
Advice and Storage
We can store the croissants in a tin or glass box at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few days.
To have a stock ready when needed, we can also freeze them either cooked or raw, but remember to thaw them slowly in the refrigerator or microwave.
If we don’t like sesame seeds, we can sprinkle the mini croissants with whatever we like best, even just sugar.
