Instructions
Step 1
* Preheat your oven to 190°C (fan-assisted).
Step 2
* Unfold the pastry and cut it into 12 equal triangles.
Step 3
* Lightly grease the stainless steel cone moulds with a little butter. Stretch each triangle before Rolling around a mould cone, starting from the wide end and gently wrapping it to the tip to create the croissant shape.
Step 4
* Place the pastry cones onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with milk to create the egg wash. Brush the croissants with egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 5
* Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Once baked, allow them to cool completely.
Step 6
* Meanwhile, prepare the blueberry jam by combining blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly and gently breaking the blueberries. Cook until the jam thickens and achieves a smooth consistency. Set it aside to cool.
Step 7
* For the cream filling, in a bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined and a firm cream forms.
Step 8
* Place a piece of cling film on a flat surface and shape the cream into a square. Add a line of blueberry jam in the middle of the cream square. Carefully fold the edges of the cling film to cover the jam with cream.
Step 9
* Twist the edges of the cling film and cut off one end. Transfer the cream-filled cling film into a piping bag, cutting the edge to create an opening for piping.
Step 10
* Fill each cooled croissant with the cream by piping the filling into the centre.
Step 11
* Dust the Mini Cream-Stuffed Croissants with a sprinkling of icing sugar for an elegant finish.
Step 12
* Serve and indulge in these delectable treats!
