Vegan Croissant
The croissant is one of the most recognizable pastries from French bakeries, prepared in countless variations. The vegan croissant is a plant-based version that offers the classic croissant experience without any animal-derived ingredients. The combination of coconut cream and vegan dark chocolate creates a smooth and rich flavor profile, while the whole wheat pastry offers a healthier alternative. It is an excellent choice for those following a vegan diet or simply looking for a light, plant-based dessert.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the vegan puff pastry and cut it into equal-sized triangles.
3
In a bowl, combine the coconut cream, almond flour, and coconut sugar to create a smooth, sweet filling.
4
Spoon a small amount of filling onto the wider end of each pastry triangle, sprinkle with finely chopped vegan dark chocolate, and roll up into a croissant shape.
5
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the seam is facing down to prevent them from opening during baking.
6
Whisk together the almond milk and coconut oil, then brush the mixture over the tops of the croissants for a golden-brown finish.
7
Bake the croissants for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8
Melt the remaining dark chocolate. Once the croissants have cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over them.
9
Sprinkle the tops with ground walnuts and serve.
