Dubai Chocolate Croissant

If you’ve been craving a rich, nutty, and chocolatey pastry, these Dubai Chocolate Croissants are about to become your new favorite treat.

This viral-inspired recipe is unbelievably easy to make. We start by bringing day-old croissants back to life with a quick trip to the oven, filling them with a toasted kataifi filling smothered in our Amoretti® Pistachio Creme White Chocolate Praline Spread, and drizzling the tops with melted chocolate. 

Unlike other pistachio spreads, ours is made with over 50% pistachios, giving it an ultra-creamy texture and deep, nutty flavor. The result? A flakey croissant, covered in chocolate & filled with a sweet, crunchy, pistachio center. 

It’s indulgent, it’s over the top, and yet... so simple. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, you can turn simple croissants into a bakery-worthy dessert packed with rich, nutty, and chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients

For the Croissants:
  • 6, day-old butter croissants
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or 60% dark chocolate, melted
  • ¼ cup no-shell pistachios, crushed
For the Filling:

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the croissants on a baking tray set on the middle rack and bake for 6-8 minutes until warm and flaky. Remove from the oven & let cool.
  2. Warm up a pan on your stove & add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped kataifi to the pan. Stir frequently. Cook until the kataifi has browned & has a crunchy texture. 
    1. NOTE: If your kataifi isn't in small shreds, take the tip of your spatula and break them apart while they cook.
  3. In a bowl, mix the Amoretti® Pistachio Crème White Chocolate Spread with the cooked kataifi pastry until well combined. It should resemble wet sand. Set aside.
  4. Grab your croissant and slice lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through—leave the top connected for easy folding.
  5.  Spoon a very generous amount of the pistachio kataifi filling into each croissant. You want it to be overstuffed. Set aside.
  6. Add your chocolate to a microwave safe bowl & melt in the microwave for 30 second increments. Stir every 30 seconds.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag (you can use a spoon as well) and drizzle the tops of each croissant with the melted chocolate. Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top for some extra texture & visual appeal. 
  8. Let the croissants sit on the counter for about 1 hour until the chocolate has hardened. You can place them in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to spead up this process. Just make sure you let them sit out for as long as you set them in the fridge. No one wants a chilled croissant!
  9. Croissants are best enjoyed at room temperature & can be stored in a tupperware container for 1-2 days. Refridgerate for a longer shelf life. 
  10. Enjoy!
