Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 2 croissants in half horizontally, leaving them attached on one side, and set them on serving plates.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the whipped cream generously into each croissant, dividing it evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Hull and slice the 1 cup strawberries into thin pieces. Arrange the strawberry slices and 0.5 cup blackberries over the cream.

  5. Step 5

    Dust the tops with extra powdered sugar if desired, then serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Enjoy your fruit-topped croissants as a delightful breakfast or dessert.
