Whipped mascarpone with pistachio paste fills buttery croissants inside and on top, with chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberry crumbs. When you make the cream at home, you can control how sweet it is.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

💡Cold cream whips quickly and holds firm: warm cream won't hold air. Stop when the peaks are firm, before it turns grainy.
💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
4
