Ingredients
  

For the Croissants
  • 4 pieces Croissant Fresh croissants are ideal for a flaky texture.
For the Whipped Ricotta
  • 100 g Cream Cheese Adds structure and creaminess; substitute with mascarpone for a similar effect.
  • 150 g Ricotta Whole milk ricotta is recommended for optimal flavor.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste Can be substituted with vanilla extract.
For the Burnt Honey Drizzle
  • ½ cup Honey Consider using maple syrup for a unique flavor twist.
  • 50 g Butter Opt for unsalted butter for better control over salt content.
For Garnishing
  • a couple Lavender Flowers Optional but delightful for flavor and decoration.
  • a couple sprigs Thyme Leaves Substitute rosemary if desired, or omit.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Baking Sheet
  • piping bag
  • small saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, blend the ricotta, cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer into a piping bag.
  2. Preheat your broiler to medium heat. Slice the croissants in half and toast them cut-side up for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Arrange the toasted croissant halves on individual plates. Pipe a decorative swirl of whipped ricotta on each croissant.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add honey and let bubble for about 2-3 minutes until deep amber.
  5. Remove the honey mixture from heat and let it cool for about a minute. Drizzle over the whipped ricotta on the croissants.
  6. Sprinkle lavender flowers and fresh thyme leaves on top of each croissant. Serve immediately.
