Mini Raspberry Croissants
I really enjoyed each and every page of the French Desserts cookbook. When I think of French baking it seems really complicated. Hillary Davis has filled this gorgeous cookbook with approachable French desserts that will impress your guests and are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
How to Make Mini Raspberry Croissants:
There’s nothing I love more than a fancy dessert and when it’s easy to make, that’s even better. These Mini Raspberry Croissants start with frozen puff pastry and are filled with raspberry jam. I added a bit of Nielsen- Massey Lemon Extract for a little added zing. So simple. but so, so good!
The puff pastry is thawed and cut into triangles and then filled with the raspberry jam. Take notice of that beautiful WÜSTHOF GOURMET 6″ Cake Knife!
The triangles are rolled up and gently curled to crescent shapes.
The crescents are brushed with an egg wash (an egg, beaten with a bit of water and vanilla extract). This helps them bake up golden brown and gives them a little shine.
These croissants bake up in just 15 minutes making them the perfect anytime dessert. They are totally fancy enough for holidays and special occasions. They come out of the oven so gorgeous and golden brown.
The flaky puff pastry and raspberry filling are the perfect pair. You can make these a day ahead and serve them up with your morning coffee for an extra special treat.
These Mini Raspberry Croissants are surprisingly easy and guaranteed to please! I might just add these to my holiday goodie baskets. I know everyone would enjoy these Christmas morning.
Don’t you just want to reach through the screen and grab one? It’s nice that they are mini- you know so you can have 2 or 3!
I’m not even going to admit how many I ate. They are one of those desserts that keep you coming back for more. You might also like this Air Fryer Cherry Cheese Danish recipe for a quick breakfast treat.

Then slice each square on a diagonal to make into triangles. Repeat with the second pastry sheet. You should have 24 triangles.
- Mix jam and lemon extract together. Thinly spread each triangle with 1 teaspoon of jam.
- Roll up each triangle snugly from the wide base to the tip at the top. Place on the baking sheet.
- Brush them with the egg wash then use your finger to shape them slightly into crescents, keeping the tip tucked underneath.
