Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Unroll the pre-made croissant dough and cut it into triangles, about 4 inches at the base.
  3. Whisk the vanilla pudding mix and whole milk in a mixing bowl for about 2 minutes until thick, then fold in powdered sugar.
  4. Add a tablespoon of the pastry cream at the base of each triangle and roll from the base to the tip, tucking under the tip.
  5. Arrange the filled croissants on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
