Croissants dressed up as carrots, filled with a bright herby lemon cream cheese. Cute, clever and ridiculously tasty!
Find the recipe below:
Ingredients
* 3 Bakers Delight plain croissants
* 220g cream cheese, softened to room temp
* ½ carrot, finely grated
* 1 tbsp chopped parsley (plus extra sprigs for topping)
* 1 tbsp chopped dill
* Salt & pepper, to taste
* 1 tsp lemon zest* Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Method
Step 1: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, grated carrot, parsley, dill, salt, pepper, lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2: Cut each croissant in half. Gently push the soft inside from the centre to the outer sides to create a cavity for piping
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag (or zip-lock bag with the corner snipped).
Step 3: Pipe generously into each croissant half, filling from end to end.
Step 4: Finish with a small sprig of parsley on top of each one to make them look like carrots.
Serve immediately or chill until ready to plate.
