Croissants with condensed milk and coconut flakes are a great addition to breakfast or a delicious snack. The idea of baking croissants from puff pastry originated in France. And the name of the pastry itself - croissant - also comes from the French language and is translated as "half-moon". For the filling of the croissant, you can take absolutely different ingredients, or you can just bake them without anything - you will still get a great dessert.

How to cook Croissants with condensed milk and coconut flakes

Step 1

In a container, mix condensed milk and coconut flakes.

Step 2

Press the puff pastry with a rolling pin, then cut it into 3 equal rectangular parts. Divide the rectangles diagonally with a knife.

Step 3

Place the prepared filling along the wide edge of the triangle and form a croissant. Do the same with the rest of the dough.

Step 4

Place parchment paper on a baking sheet, then grease it with butter. Place the croissants on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

Croissants with condensed milk and coconut flakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the condensed milk with another ingredient?

Yes, you can use honey, maple syrup, or dulce de leche as alternatives. Adjust quantities to taste, as these substitutes may alter sweetness and texture.

How should I store leftover croissants, and how long will they stay fresh?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness.

Can I make these croissants vegan-friendly?

Yes! Use vegan condensed milk (coconut-based works well) and dairy-free puff pastry. Substitute coconut oil for butter when greasing the baking sheet.

Any tips to prevent the filling from leaking during baking?

Avoid overfilling, and ensure the dough is sealed tightly by pressing the edges gently. Chill assembled croissants for 15 minutes before baking to help them hold shape.

Can I freeze these croissants before baking?

Yes. Assemble the croissants, place them on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a sealed bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2–4 minutes to the cooking time.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely—use gluten-free puff pastry (check brands like Schär or GeeFree) and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.

How can I make mini versions for a party?

Cut the puff pastry into smaller triangles (e.g., divide each rectangle into 4–6 pieces). Reduce baking time by 5–7 minutes, checking for golden edges.

What can I serve with these croissants?

Pair with coffee, tea, or fresh fruit. For extra indulgence, drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar after baking.
