Here is a different way to prepare croissants for a lovely dessert made with almond cream.

Ingredients for 10 servings

10 store-bought croissants.
100 gr. of ground almonds.
100 gr. of softened butter.
100 gr. of eggs in shell (2 medium eggs).
100 gr. of caster sugar.
2 teaspoons of Rum.
10 cl of hot water.
50 gr. of sugar.
1 handful of sliced almonds.

Step-by-step directions

1/ Mix the hot water with the sugar and add 1 teaspoon of Rum in a container and set aside.
2/ Mix the eggs with the sugar.
Put the softened butter in the robot bowl and mix it, once well combined add the egg and sugar mixture little by little.
3/ Add the ground almond powder and mix with a Maryse (or wooden spoon, very important).
Flavor with Rum (1 teaspoon).
4/ Preheat the oven to 200°.
5/ Cut the croissants in half lengthwise. Soak both halves of each croissant and spread a little almond cream.
6/ Place the other half of the croissant on top. Spread a thin layer of almond cream and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
