Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Cream Croissants
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pistachio paste, mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and thick.
  2. Transfer the pistachio cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes for a pipeable consistency.
  3. Carefully slice each croissant lengthwise, ensuring the hinge remains intact. If day-old, warm in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Fill each croissant with the pistachio cream using a piping bag or spoon, allowing some to ooze out.
  5. Lightly dust the filled croissants with powdered sugar before serving.
