Black Forest Chocolate Croissant Recipe

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 360°F. Remove croissants from the freezer and let thaw for 10 - 20 minutes.
2. Bake croissants for 18 - 20 minutes until golden crisp on the outside. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. Cut a slice down the center of the top of the mini croissants lengthwise to add filling. Fill with almond whipped cream cheese, sweetened cherries, and chocolate icing.

Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Add heavy cream to the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.
2. In a second large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, corn starch (if using), and vanilla extract. Beat until well-mixed and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed.
3. Use a spatula to fold whipped cream and yogurt into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
