Ingredients

3 store-bought croissants (preferably day-old for best texture)
1/2 cup Barker’s Raspberry Jam
1/2 cup almond meal (ground almonds)
1/4 cup caster sugar
2 Tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Almonds, sliced
Icing sugar, to dust

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a bowl, mix almond meal, caster sugar, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth — this is your almond filling.
Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally.
Spread a generous layer of raspberry jam on the bottom half of each croissant.
Top the jam with a thick layer of almond filling.
Place the top halves of the croissants back on.
Brush the croissants lightly with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of each croissant.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and almond filling is set.
Let cool slightly, then dust with icing sugar if desired before serving.
