Ingredients

• 1 sheet Vegan puff pastry
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 100 grams Vegan butter
• 60 ml Almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 50 grams Sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon Raw sugar
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 6 equal triangles.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, cream together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and vegan butter until smooth.

Step 4

Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the almond cream mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of almond cream on the wider part of each puff pastry triangle. Spread slightly to cover but avoid getting too close to the edges.

Step 6

Roll the triangles starting from the wide end and shape each into a crescent as you place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, bring 3 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of raw sugar to a simmer to make a sugar syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 8

Brush each croissant with the sugar syrup using a pastry brush.

Step 9

Sprinkle the tops with sliced almonds and a little extra sugar.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.

Step 11

Let the croissants cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
