How to Assemble Easy Almond Croissants:
7
Preheat oven to 350˚F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
8
Slice day-old croissants in half lengthwise (like a sandwich) and dip each side lightly in the syrup. They should be moist but not soaking well. Arrange them on prepared baking sheet. Remove the tops, keeping them paired with their bases.

Spread 2 Tbsp of almond cream over the bottom half of each croissant, cover with the top halves and spread another 1 Tbsp of almond cream over each one. Sprinkle tops with sliced almonds and bake at 350˚F for about ⏱️ 15 - 18 min or until cream is golden. Transfer to wire rack and cool to room temp or until just warm. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar. These are best served the day they are made.
