Method
Croissants
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
Incorporate Butter
Roll out the cold butter between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle. Place the butter on the dough and fold the dough over it, sealing the edges.
Laminate the Dough
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and fold it into thirds (like a letter). Repeat this process three more times, refrigerating for 30 minutes between each fold.
Shape the Croissants
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to shape the croissants.
Proof the Croissants
Place shaped croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the croissants with an egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Seasonal Filling
Prepare the Filling
In a medium saucepan, combine the seasonal fruit, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the fruit is softened and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Cool the Filling
Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
Assembly and Serving
Fill the Croissants
Once the croissants are baked and cooled, slice them open and spoon in the seasonal fruit filling.
Add Ice Cream
Top each filled croissant with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Garnish and Serve
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
