Blackberry Filling
In a medium saucepan, add the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice.
Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Bring blackberries to a boil, and reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally.
Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thickened and most of the liquid has reduced down.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Cream Cheese Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on low for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat on low until the sugar is incorporated.
Prepare the Croissants
Cut a slit down the center of the croissant until you get to the folded end, making sure not to go through the bottom side.
Cut a slit horizontally, again making sure not to go through the bottom.
Gently peel back the top, leaving the sides intact so you have a star shaped pocket in the center.
Put a teaspoon of berry filling into the center of the croissant.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese over the blackberry filling.
Add a little more blackberry filling over the cream cheese.
Carefully pull the star edges back towards the center of the croissant.
Repeat the process with the remaining croissants and fillings.
Caramel Glaze
In a small bowl melt the butter
Add the brown sugar, and honey, and mix until the butter is fully incorporated.
Brush the buttons of each croissant and place onto a foil lined cookie sheet, or into a pancake sheet pan.
Brush the tops and the sides of the croissants with remaining caramel glaze.
Sprinkle the tops with crumble.
Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until browned and hardened.
