FAQ

Blueberry Croissants Questions

Can I use store-bought puff pastry instead of making croissant dough?

Absolutely, you can! Ready-made puff pastry is a great shortcut and works perfectly for this recipe. Just roll it out to the 30 × 25 cm size so your triangles come out evenly and roll up nicely.

Why did my jam leak out while the croissants baked?

Most likely there was a bit too much jam on the triangle or it was spread too close to the edges. Keep it to a small dab on the wide side and roll up gently but snugly, so the pastry seals around it. Tucking the tip underneath the croissant also helps keep everything in place.

Can I swap the blueberry jam for another flavor?

Sure, you can! Raspberry, strawberry or cherry jam all work well, as long as the jam is fairly thick. A runnier jam is more likely to seep out in the oven, so you could stir it briefly or choose a firmer one.

How far ahead can I bake the croissants, and how do I store them?

You can bake the croissants earlier in the day and keep them at room temperature until you serve them. Wait to pipe the cream and add the berries until shortly before serving, so the pastry stays crisp and the cream keeps its shape.

My whipped cream turned soft and runny when piping - what went wrong?

The most common reason is that the cream or the bowl was not cold enough, or that the croissants were still warm when you piped. Chill your cream well, whip it with the cream stiffener until really stiff, and make sure the croissants have cooled completely. Then your waves will hold beautifully.
