Introduction

Croissant crackers are a delightful twist on a classic pastry, turning buttery croissants into crisp, sweet treats. Perfect for snacking or serving alongside cheese, these homemade crackers are easy to prepare and wonderfully addictive.

A round wooden board holds a small wheel of soft white cheese with a thick rind and one wedge cut out and placed just below it, showing a creamy light yellow inside. To the left of the cheese are crisp golden-brown toasted bread slices with an airy texture and some crunchy edges. Below the toasts are three bright orange persimmon slices arranged in a stack, each slice showing star-like patterns in the center. To the right side of the cheese is a bunch of plump red grapes with a slight sheen. Near the top left of the cheese wheel, a small sprig of dark green leaves with cream-colored buds lies flat on the board. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 croissants
150ml double cream
3 tbsp light brown soft sugar
30g salted butter, melted
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Using a serrated knife, slice each croissant in half lengthways into long slices about 1–2cm thick.
Step 3: In a shallow dish, whisk together the double cream, light brown sugar, salt, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 4: Use tongs to dunk the croissant slices into the cream mixture, coating both sides. Gently shake off any excess liquid and arrange the slices evenly on the prepared baking tray.
Step 5: Bake for 25 minutes or until the croissant slices are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a savory version, omit the sugar and add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the cream mixture.
Try sprinkling a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the cream mixture for a warm, spiced flavor.
Make sure to slice the croissants evenly for consistent baking and crunchiness.

Storage

Store the cooled croissant crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep fresh and crisp for up to one week. If they soften, you can re-crisp them in a low oven for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve

A round wooden board holds a food arrangement starting with a wheel of soft white cheese with a smooth, slightly bumpy rind, cut to reveal its creamy pale yellow inside, placed near the top right. Around the cheese, there is a bunch of red grapes on the right side. On the left side, several pieces of golden-brown toasted bread with a crunchy texture and open crumb are scattered. Below the toast, four bright orange persimmon slices are neatly layered. Behind the cheese and toast, three green bay leaves with small yellow flower buds lie flat. The whole scene is set against a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

150ml double cream
3 tbsp light brown soft sugar
30g salted butter, melted
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Slice the croissants: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each croissant in half lengthways into long slices approximately 1-2cm thick to create the base for the crackers.
Prepare dipping mixture: Whisk together the double cream, light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and melted salted butter in a shallow dish until fully combined.
Soak the croissant slices: Using tongs, dunk the croissant slices into the cream mixture on both sides. Gently shake off any excess liquid to avoid sogginess and arrange the slices evenly on the lined baking tray.

Notes

Ensure croissant slices are patted dry slightly after dipping to achieve maximum crispness.
These crackers are excellent served with cheeses, dips, or enjoyed on their own as a sweet snack.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain crispness.
You can adjust sugar quantity slightly to taste for more or less sweetness.
