Cream Puff Croissant

Cream Filled Croissants

This is a great recipe for a small gathering or a fun, different snack or pastry item for the family. It's quick, easy, no fuss.

Ingredients:

• 6 Croissants (mini croissants work great for this)
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 box vanilla or chocolate pudding
• Milk
• 4 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

1. Prepare pudding as directed by the package. Cover and store in fridge for 1-2 hours until set.
2. Once the pudding is set, set oven to broil and place upper rack on third level.
3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Set aside.
4. Using a butter knife, make a small opening by placing the knife in one side and going to the other end without cutting it.
5. Using a marinade injector, or a child's medicine injector that has been thoroughly cleaned (my personal preference), inject pudding into the opening until filled. Repeat for each croissant.
6. Place the croissant on a cookie sheet. Drizzle melted butter and sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top of the croissants. Put under the broiler for a minute. Drizzle more butter and sugar over each. Cook for about 1 minute more (until the top is slightly browned).
7. Take out, let cool on a rack or a plate.

To add to the recipe, drizzle butter and honey on top or even some finely chopped granola, placed inside or out.
