Croissants are a super quick stand-in for cream puffs in this luscious treat. The from-scratch caramel sauce couldnât be easier to make and itâs irresistible with butter pecan ice cream. Ingredients:
6 miniature croissants |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup water |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 cups butter pecan ice cream |
Directions:
1. Place croissants on a baking sheet; bake at 350° for 5 minutes or until warmed.
2. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook without stirring until mixture turns an amber color and a candy thermometer reads 330°. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in cream and butter until smooth.
3. Split croissants horizontally. Place a scoop of ice cream on the bottom half of each croissant; replace tops. Drizzle each with 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (save remaining sauce for another use). Yield: 6 servings (1-1/2 cups sauce).
