I am always looking for a good Almond Croissant. Good Croissants seem like they would be impossible to make at home. We were in Ocean Grove, New Jersey one summer and I had the best Almond Horn. It was shaped like a big horn (go figure). It was soft and deliciously almond. That’s when I realized its all about the almond not the baked good. I can make my own almond goodies. I bought cans of almond paste and almond cake/pie filling.
Macaroons
It turns out I only had one 8 oz. can of almond paste and the recipe called for 14 ounces so I tried to improvise with the almond cake/pie filling. This resulted in a gooey mess with an intense almond flavor.
…Onto the crescent rolls
I had a half of a can of almond cake/pie filling left so I added it to Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and voila, they turned out great.
Be careful, the filling is very hot when you remove them from the oven. Enjoy!
