Pistachio Cream Croissants – Buttery Croissants Filled with Rich Pistachio Cream

Pistachio Cream Croissants are a delightful French-inspired pastry that combines the flaky, buttery goodness of croissants with a rich and nutty pistachio cream filling. This indulgent treat is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as an elegant dessert. The combination of crisp, golden-brown croissants with the smooth and creamy pistachio filling creates a luxurious texture and flavor that pistachio lovers will adore.

The filling is made with finely ground pistachios, softened butter, sugar, and a touch of vanilla, giving it a fragrant and slightly sweet taste with a nutty depth. To enhance the flavor and texture, we also add a splash of heavy cream, making the filling extra creamy and rich. When baked, the croissants become slightly crisp on the outside while the filling melts into the layers, creating a luscious bite.
