Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the 2 croissants in half horizontally and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Warm in the oven for 5 minutes until slightly crisp.

  2. Step 2

    While the croissants warm, hull and slice the 1 cup strawberries into thin pieces. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the 4 oz dark chocolate and 0.5 cup heavy cream. Stir constantly until smooth and glossy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the croissants from the oven. Layer the sliced strawberries on the bottom halves, then replace the tops.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle the chocolate sauce generously over the croissants. Dust with the 1 tbsp powdered sugar.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the croissants are still warm and the chocolate is melty.
