Ingredients

  • 4 ounce almond paste
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 Tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the almond paste, brown sugar, and butter. You can also use a food processor if you prefer. The almond paste is firm, and will take a few minutes to soften and combine with the other ingredients!
  2. Unroll all 8 triangles from the package. Place a big dollop of almond mixture in the center of the roll, and roll it up without curling the edges. Place on a baking sheet.
  3. Using the remaining almond filling, spread a dollop on the top of each crescent roll and press in the sliced almonds.
  4. Bake in a 375°F oven for 12-14 minutes, until rolls are golden brown. Remove from oven and enjoy!
  5. These are best served the same day!

Notes

  • You can also use Puff Pastry, just make sure to thaw it for about 45 minutes at room temperature, and bake according the package (400°F for about 14-16 minutes, until you see that beautiful golden brown color)!
  • Mix filling well. It takes a few minutes of beating for the thick almond paste to soften enough to combine with the other ingredients. That's why I recommend using a food processor or electric stand mixer instead of mixing by hand.
  • Almond croissants taste best the same day. I recommend serving them while still slightly warm from the oven for best flavor.
