Description
Flaky, buttery croissants filled with spiced pumpkin puree and topped with a luscious maple glaze, perfect for cozy autumn mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of store-bought puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out your puff pastry if needed, ensuring it’s about 1/8-inch thick.
- In a bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth.
- Cut the puff pastry into triangles (about 4-6 inches wide at the base). Spread a generous tablespoon of pumpkin filling onto each triangle, leaving space around the edges.
- Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle tightly towards the tip. Place each croissant on the prepared baking sheet, tip side down, to prevent unrolling.
- Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the croissants for a golden finish.
- Bake the croissants for 18-22 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- While the croissants are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. The glaze should be thin enough to drizzle but not watery.
- Once the croissants have cooled slightly, drizzle the maple glaze over each one. Let it set for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
[‘Keep the puff pastry cold to make it easier to work with.’, ‘Avoid overfilling the croissants to prevent bursting.’, ‘Pinch the tips of the croissants to ensure they don’t unroll while baking.’, ‘Customize the glaze consistency by adjusting the amount of milk or cream.’, ‘Test for doneness by checking if the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.’]
