Ingredients
  

  • Frozen puff pastry: 2 sheets about 17.3 ounces/490g, thawed
  • Egg: 1 large
  • Water: 1 tablespoon
  • Shelled pistachios: ½ cup finely chopped
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips: ½ cup
  • Optional: Coarse sugar for topping
  • Optional: Pistachio cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently unfold one sheet of the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 large triangles.
  • Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips evenly over each triangle. If using pistachio cream, spread a thin layer before adding nuts and chocolate.
  • Starting at the wide end of each triangle, carefully roll up the pastry towards the point. Gently curve the ends inward to create a crescent shape.
  • Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until well combined for the egg wash.
  • Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each croissant with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm!
