Gotta admit I’m tempted by the fusion, and in the spirit of it, to steer the concept further away from a European style, I’d pair it with matcha ice cream.
Freedom horns!
But half of it is air?
Maybe it’s croissant flavored air?
Always has been.
I’m not mad about the mango filling, but those croissants look really pale
Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.
Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.
Informative comment, thanks!
the rise is good, though. i imagine they used something like rice flour
Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don’t really need anything at all. They’re already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.
They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.
There’s really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you’re putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that’s really just personal preference.
Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.
Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.
It’s the butter, butter I’d the secret ingredient LF french cuisine and baking. More butter, put all the butter !
My first time at a French restaurant, the waiter made a joke like that, but it was that everything is full of butter AND cream.
French people wouldn’t mind this and if some did they’d still rather swallow their tongues than admitting that you managed to make them angry.
I’m French, this looks great. A true french reaction would be “uh ! I’ll try it”
Right?! We’ll be upset only if it tastes bad. Given by how pale they look I’m not confident it won’t.
Why would they croissants aren’t French they’re Austrian but popularized by an Austrian baker in France.
One day I’m going to cook something that gets me death threats and that’ll be a glorious day.
I already did. My recipe for Puppy and Kitten Livers Flambe was not well received.
I feel like cat liver would be a bad idea. Carnivore livers in general seem like a bad idea.

Me when a single grain of sugar falls into my pasta sauce.
Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
What in god’s green earth is this?
I love a croissant with cheese and ham as much as the next guy, but why does the cheese look… foamy? And why is the ham MELTING?? And why is it OVER THE CROISSAINT!!!
It’s lovecraftian…
I’m going to that this at face value and assume you were high or sleepy. Lmao
That is something like a lemon curd or custard inside, and a pink buttercream style frosting on top.
It was meant as a joke, since it resembles ham and cheese, which are genuinely good in a croissant, but hey.
Looks like icing, not frosting.
Not had my coffee yet, but that’s obviously canadian bacon and pineapple
Am I missing the joke?
Oh god, a crompouce.
You know we should just keep this stuff within the Netherlands. No need to inflict it on other countries :)
Wow, you guys out did the cronut. Impressive, sorta.
« Non mais tu te fous de ma gueule ou quoi!?! Putain mais c’est quoi cette merde!?! »
We got that Tubby Custard grilled cheese jawn up in this bitch
wtf custard with ham on top
These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
Who gives a fuck what the French think? The origins of the croissant are Austrian.
Hello. I’m Austrian. I approve of mango croissants. We have apricot ones, so why not this.
I bet the apricot ones are amazing
Absolutely! If you want an easy version that’s close to as good, you can cut store bought puff pastry into triangles, spread jam on them, then roll them into crescents and bake. It’s what I do since I’ve gone vegan, since they’re otherwise full of cow butter, and I recommend.
There’s plenty innovative croissant shops in paris too. Bet the threats they received were from “French” Americans.
Or just people with French names who were just being asshats on twitter
Or no one at all.
classic viennoiserie
The origin sure, as much as bread’s origin is in wheat. Croissant as you know it is French, from Paris specifically. Not that I condone them having some kind of veto on how people get to use this invention now.
No, the shape and most of the composition. The French are just entitled enough to pretend it is theirs. Western European nations seem to like doing this.
What you are talking about is kipferl which is definitely Austrian. But someone took that and made it into something new using yeast-leavened laminated dough, called it croissant, and where they did that was 100% in Paris, France. There is no doubt about it because it happened recently enough. They are absolutely not the same end product and I would be outraged if someone served me half-moon shaped bread roll, which is what the Austrian thing is, while trying to pass it off as a croissant.
Ooh I want to do a guava and cream cheese croissant now.
As a french croissant maker, yours look amazing. You are definitely skilled and I would taste those enthousiastically
There is not a single world where the people who sent death threats if they even exist are French. Variations of croissant are also common in France and the one shown above in the picture looks highly qualitative.
Trolls on the other end pretending to be French and outraged, now that seems more likely.
If the croissant variant just looks like shit French people will likely make fun of it. But death threats? Bullshit.
I mean, they could be French trolls, I’d wager that French trolls would be even more likely to do this.
Why is everyone hating on french people? I do not quite get it.
The French like to pretend the way they do things is the only correct way to do things.
The one thing I will give the French, they don’t take shit. When the French gov tried to raise the retirement age (if I remember correctly) people took to the streets in a big way. It was glorious.
most nations especially the USA could learn a lot about how to maintain a democratic state from France
The secret is spicing it up with an empire every now and then… Oh fuck the Americans are doing exactly that
This is Europeans in general though
Like traffic laws.
The way the French traffic laws work, it would literally be safer if it was just a free-for-all.
Traffic laws are the worst example, french traffic laws are flawless apart from the priority to smaller roads on the right
Imperialist cultures are easy to take swings at.
American culture is a lot more imperialist than French culture. France is not an imperialist power now, unlike the US. In fact, out of the allies of the US, it has been the one that has shown the most opposition to US military interventions in the middle east. Why not hate on America? In any case, I am certain that you know very little about french culture.
I can hate both equally, thank you.
You must not be American; we can only do one thing at a time.
Unless it’s just ruining everything; we count that as one thing, even if it’s not.
Thank you for genuinely making me laugh today. Through my tears, but it still counts.
France still holds colonies. You probably should look into that bit before talking about imperialism. France’s longest border is shared with Brazil.
It’s also one of the countries that was dumping its waste in Somali waters. France shouldn’t be ignored just because the US eclipses all other imperialisim in the world at the moment.
Does the US currently eclipse all others? I would argue Russia has that crown as they currently are invading Ukraine to steal land and resources, after that it would be theUSA
Russia is more overt and aggressive. Historically, the US has a thousand sins that are more subtle.
This is not a colony. It is officially part of France. Guianans are citizens of France and can vote. It is no different from any other region at all. Unlike Puerto Rico.
Most Guianians are perfectly fine with being a part a France, and they even rejected a referendum asking for more autonomy:
“In 2010, a referendum was held in French Guiana on becoming an autonomous overseas territory. However, a substantial 70% of voters rejected the proposal, opting instead for full integration with France. This result, coupled with a low voter turnout of 48%, clearly indicated that the majority of those who voted preferred the status quo: French Guiana remaining an integral part of the French Republic.”
that totally natural part of France that is on another continent. Surely that isn’t a colony. What portion of Parliament has come from Guyana?
Well, you see, the word colony actually has a meaning. See this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony You might notice that even wikipaedia does not list is as a colony on its map.
As it is not separated from metropolitan France in terms of government, it is not a colony, since it is a fully integrated part of the state. It is not exploited in any way whatsoever, and the majority of residents want absolutely nothing to change.
There are two MPs from French Guiana, one for every 100000 people, same as everywhere else in France. It will probably be three soon, it seems.
Wikipedia isn’t a definitive resource for defining literally anything. I would not be using it to demonstrate anything of this nature.
How did Guyana become part of France? Oh that’s right French people came over and colonized it. The people of Guyana didn’t request that the French come over and take their lands and exploit the populations there…
France is/was an imperialist nation and they never gave that attitude up.
Hey I wasn’t defending the US when I said that.
Well, I just do not understand why people hate France specifically.
And we shit on the US as well for it.
Same with Russia and China.
No you don’t. Some criticise them, but hating France is a meme now for some reason, and I am sure people that hate France know next to nothing about it.

People say all kinds of things yet France remains an incredibly popular holiday destination. It’s mostly tsundere bickering. French people can be arrogant but honestly not nearly as much as the Dutch and they get zero shit for it. And the other stereotypes like being romantic, liking good food or having a knack for arts aren’t actually negative if you think about it. They just get overexaggerated.
You say romantic, I say cheating whores.
It’s called polyamory, Frenchies, you can just have an open relationship.
Right. They have contributed a lot to culture. A lot of literary, scientific, technological, philosophical and artistic achievements. Idk why people that have only benefited from France by enjoying these achievements, and not at all suffered from it as some have, unfortunately, hate on it.
