Vegan Coconut and Dark Chocolate Croissants

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Butter-free croissants are a challenge since butter provides flavor and flakiness. Here, coconut oil and almond milk step in. Although coconut oil melts at a lower temperature than butter, working quickly and keeping things cold achieves flaky layers. The almond flour filling adds richness to this plant-based treat.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Tree Nuts

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the cold coconut cream, almond flour, and coconut sugar in a bowl.

Tip: Coconut cream fats are solid when cold, giving structure to the filling.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and cut into triangles. Place a bit of filling and chocolate pieces on the wide end.

Tip: Don't overheat the dough with your hands.
3 ✓

Roll up and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush with a mix of almond milk and coconut oil.

Tip: The sugary-fatty coating helps caramelization (browning) without eggs.
4 ✓

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Whole wheat flour makes the pastry darker and slightly denser than white flour versions.
5 ✓

After cooling, drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with walnuts.

Tip: Chocolate sets on the cooled pastry.

Recipe FAQ

Why isn't it as flaky as butter versions?
Plant fats behave differently. The quality of vegan puff pastry varies, but keeping it cold is key.
