Ingredients
4 large croissants
8 fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon matcha powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon matcha powder
1 teaspoon coconut oil or cream (optional)
Instructions
- Beat softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the matcha mixture until light and airy. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Slice croissants horizontally, leaving one side attached to form a pocket. Optionally warm at 325°F for 3–5 minutes, then cool.
- Pipe matcha cream into each croissant and layer sliced strawberries inside. Add more cream if desired and gently close.
- Mix melted white chocolate with matcha powder until smooth. Add coconut oil or cream if needed to thin.
- Drizzle matcha chocolate over croissants.
- Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow filling to set before serving.
Notes
Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and color.
Assemble just before serving to prevent soggy croissants.
Swap strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or peaches.
Use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer drizzle.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Mini croissants can be used for smaller portions.
