Georgie and me
Chocolate Frangipane Croissant
Well its official, George is a really nice Master Chef! I had the privilege of feeding him breakfast last Friday and although I have put this recipe up here before (in the deep dark recessed archives somewhere!), I persuaded myself that it was almost a Croissant Baklava, thus meeting the Greek requirement, though GC must be completely over being fed ‘Greek’ foods I suspect!
NEED:
Day old croissant…(This quantity makes 6)
110 grams blanched almonds
200g dark chocolate
250 grams unsalted butter
drizzle almond essence
1/4 cup icing sugar
flaked almonds to finish
SYRUP made from 1 cup water and 1/2 cup caster sugar brought together until sugar is dissolved on Induction 6. Can add a dash of rum or brandy at this point. Cool. (Really cool…as in hip!)
DO:
Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
Cut croissant in half and lay in baking dish.
Place almonds into Thermomix bowl and mill for 8 seconds on speed 8.
Add chocolate and mill a further 8 seconds on speed 8.
Add butter, icing sugar, essence and egg and pulse together in food processor. Mixture should be chunky and textured, as opposed to smooth!
When blended spoon onto croissant half and top with other half.
Pour syrup over and allow to soak in.
Sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake until golden. (Around 20 minutes)
Serve whilst warm.
Good work – hope your not facing a Pressure test now with the possibility of elimination
No, don’t think that’s likely, except what’s this Induction 6 – why do we have a Thermomix? – too much whine
. Great recipe – is there a TMX croissant recipe available somewhere now?
Hi Tenina, Janine from melb suggested i contact you. A client of mine is having trouble with her gluten free profiteroles. she has followed the recipe from the cook book and the mixture is too liquid for her to form into balls. do you have any suggestions.
Thanks Chris
A rich breakfast just perfect for us. All we need is milk.
While preparing the food for the “Master Chef George”, have you felt any pressure?
because you are going to feed an expert in the field of cooking, of course you don’t want to disappoint George..
well, I’m just curious..
Thermomixer- no elimination I can’t handle!!
Chris- please contact me at Thermomix via email and I will sort out your query.
Fave Duo- can’t be too rich right?
Filta- Heaps of pressure, he wanted to know if I made the croissant myself! (And I had to admit I did not!)
