Buttery vanilla shortbread topped with a blonde chocolate blondie, swirled with homemade croissant butter and studded with crisp, caramelised croissant croutons and chocolate chips.
Behind The Bake
This one was inspired by the croissant butter blondie at Pollen in Manchester, which is probably my favourite bake of theirs. I wasn’t trying to recreate it exactly, but I loved the idea of taking all those deeply buttery, toasted croissant flavours and pushing them into something even more excessive (if thats even possible!).
I’ve started with a crisp shortbread base because I wanted the blondie to have a bit of architecture beneath it - something crumbly and restrained to break up all the softness and richness above.
The blondie itself is made with melted blonde and white chocolate, which brings those toasted milk, caramel and biscuit flavours that already feel quite croissant-adjacent. I’ve then swirled through homemade croissant butter, (Tamal Ray’s recipe, if you’re interested in recreating it yourself), hoping it will add an even deeper, more concentrated layer of browned-butter and laminated-pastry flavour.
The croissant croutons are there for texture: little brittle, buttery pieces against the soft blondie and crumbly shortbread. Please note, the image shows dark chocolate chips however I have swapped these for blonde and white. as they were just to overpowering! I hope that is okay :)
In my head, it sits somewhere between a blondie, a pastry and the crisp, deeply caramelised edge of a croissant. It could be genius or it could be far too much, but hopefully you can see where I’m going with it :)
