CREAM CHEESE CROISSANT DESSERT



Cream Cheese Croissant Dessert image

I am not normally a fan of desserts...I'd generally rather have the main course twice. However, you can add cream cheese to just about anything and I would gladly eat it! This was given to me by a friend at work and has become a go-to recipe when I need something for carry-ins. It's good warm, cold, room temperature, by itself or smothered in a light fruit topping. I want to try it with fat free cream cheese and Splenda but haven't yet. If you do, let me know how it turns out!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: The type of cream cheese you use will greatly affect the taste of your croissants. Look for a brand that is smooth and spreadable, with a rich flavor.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the croissants to rise properly and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Brush the croissants with egg wash before baking: This will give them a golden brown color and a glossy shine.
  • Serve the croissants warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the cream cheese filling is still melted and gooey.
