- 4 large croissants
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Gently stir in the dried cranberries.
Slice each croissant horizontally, creating a pocket for the filling.
Spread a generous amount of the cranberry-orange cream cheese mixture inside each croissant.
Place filled croissants on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is heated through.
Let them cool slightly.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
