Ingredients

Blackberry Filling

Cream Cheese Filling

Carmel Glaze

Crumble Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.

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.

Crumble Topping

  • In a small bowl mix flour and brown sugar together. Cut in cold butter with the backs of forks or
  • your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse grained sand. Set aside.

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.

Notes

Tips
  • Stir the blackberry filling occasionally to avoid sticking.
  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature for the best filling texture.
  • Be sure not to cut all the way through the croissant rolls.
  • Don’t overfill the croissants.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
