Berries and Cream Pretzel Croissant

Berries and Cream Pretzel Croissant

Ingredients

  • 6 ea.
    Hilltop Hearth® Butter Pretzel Croissant
  • 6 oz.
    Cross Valley Farms® Fresh Raspberries
  • 6 oz.
    Cross Valley Farms Fresh Strawberries
  • 6 oz.
    Cross Valley Farms Fresh Blueberries
  • 1 qt.
    Glenview Farms® 40% Butterfat Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 6 oz.
    Monarch Powdered Sugar 10X Cane
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 2 oz.
    Monarch Granulated Cane Sugar
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 6 oz.
    Monarch® Melba Sauce

Preparation

  1. First bake the croissants, per the instructions on the box. 
  2. Macerate the berries by placing them all in a bowl, and toss with the 2 oz. of granulated sugar and the juice from 1 lemon (add a little bit of the lemon zest if desired). Toss and set aside. 
  3. For the whipped cream, pour the heavy cream in a mixing bowl and whisk in the confectioners sugar. Whip until soft peaks are formed, and then add the vanilla. Continue whisking, until the cream will hold its shape when mounded.
  4. To assemble simply, take one of the freshly baked croissants and split it in half. Top the bottom piece with a little bit of the whipped cream, then one-sixth of the berry mixture and then top with more whipped cream and place the top half of the croissant nicely on top. 
  5. Serve with a drizzle of the melba sauce and, if desired, dust the top with a little bit more powdered sugar.
