almond croissant
Frangipane-filled crescent roll
An almond croissant is a croissant filled with almond cream and typically topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar.
Bakeries often make them by splitting day-old croissants, filling them with frangipane, and rebaking—a method that originated as a way to use stale pastries.
The result is richer and sweeter than a plain croissant: I'll have a coffee and an almond croissant.
