Puff pastry croissants with boiled condensed milk
Puff pastry croissants filled with boiled condensed milk are a true masterpiece of culinary art: tender and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. In their native France, every self-respecting citizen still starts their day with a cup of coffee and a croissant.
- Puff yeast dough
- Boiled condensed milk
- Chicken egg (yolk)
- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Refined vegetable oil
- Prepare the croissant dough with boiled condensed milk. Remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour (or follow the package instructions). Let the dough defrost.
- Dust a work surface with flour. Place the dough on the surface and roll it out into a flat sheet. The thickness should be no more than 4 mm. Using a special knife, cut triangles from the dough with a base of about 10 cm.
- Place boiled condensed milk (about 2 teaspoons) on the wide part of the triangle. Roll the croissant, starting from the wide base of the triangle toward the narrow end. Form all the croissants in this manner.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper greased with vegetable oil. Arrange the dough balls on it. Don't pack them too close together, as the yeast dough will rise further.
- Lightly beat the yolk with a fork. Then, using a pastry brush, brush the croissants with the mixture. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix the sugar and cinnamon. Brush the croissants again with egg yolk and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
When making croissants, choose high-quality condensed milk, otherwise it will spread during baking. If you're unsure about the manufacturer, make your own condensed milk. For flavor, you can add a few chopped walnuts or peanuts to the filling. Garnish the finished product with these as well.

Homemade croissants with nut cream, made with love and soul, will transform your breakfast or afternoon tea into a true mini-celebration. The puff pastry, baked in the oven until golden brown, becomes a crispy "cocoon" for the aromatic nut filling with caramel notes. These croissants are truly dangerous—for your figure, of course, because it's absolutely impossible to eat just one. So, make them not just for yourself, but for guests. However, sometimes you can indulge in pure pleasure. These croissants are easier to make if you have a blender: it will help you finely chop the nuts. We used walnuts as they are among the most readily available, but you can use any other nuts. You can also dust the tops of the croissants with powdered sugar—an easy way to make them even more festive and festive.
A vanilla-custard croissant is an exquisite combination of airy puff pastry and a delicate filling that will transform an ordinary morning into a celebration or be the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee later in the day. Of course, making authentic French croissants, using homemade puff pastry, is an art in itself. But you can make a homemade version without compromising on the art: simply use ready-made puff pastry, the highest quality you can find, and use custard for the filling, adding natural, aromatic butter. The result is also delicious and beautiful. Perfect for a romantic breakfast, family tea, or as an elegant finale to a holiday menu. Serve the croissant with vanilla cream, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, and savor the moment, where every crumb speaks of French charm and the richness of its culinary traditions.
