Ingredients

Scale

Croissant Dough

  • 1 package ready-made crescent roll dough (gluten-free option available)

Almond Filling

  • 7 oz almond paste (about 200 g)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (1 for filling, 1 for egg wash)

Topping

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Almond Filling: In a bowl, combine the almond paste, softened butter, granulated sugar, and one egg. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy to ensure a luscious texture and balanced sweetness.
  2. Unroll and Cut the Crescent Dough: On a clean surface, unroll the crescent dough. Gently press perforations to form one solid layer. Cut the dough into small squares or rectangles approximately bite-sized, ready for filling.
  3. Assemble the Almond Croissant Bites: Place a small dollop of almond filling on each dough piece. Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges firmly with fingers or a fork to prevent leaks during baking.
  4. Brush with Egg Wash and Add Almond Slices: Beat the remaining egg and brush it over each assembled bite to create a glossy golden finish. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added crunch and visual appeal.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up beautifully. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Use cold dough to make handling easier and prevent stickiness.
  • Do not overfill each bite to avoid almond filling leakage.
  • Seal edges tightly with a fork or fingers to keep the filling inside.
  • Keep an eye on baking time as almond bites caramelize quickly.
  • Allow the bites to cool slightly before eating to let the filling set perfectly.
