Blueberry Croffles

If you’re looking for a new, fun way to enjoy croissants and waffles together, Blueberry Croffles are the answer! These adorable little treats combine the buttery, flaky layers of a classic croissant with the irresistible crispiness of a waffle.
Baked in a mini waffle maker until perfectly golden and light, each croffle delivers the best of both worlds: a soft, airy center and a slightly crunchy exterior. But it doesn’t stop there — they’re taken to the next level with a swirl of dreamy, homemade blueberry cream. Made from freshly whipped heavy cream, a touch of vanilla, powdered sugar, and vibrant freeze-dried blueberries, the topping adds a fruity sweetness and beautiful color that’s hard to resist.
A handful of fresh blueberries on top adds an extra burst of flavor and a refreshing finish.

Blueberry Croffles are the perfect treat for so many occasions. Whether you’re hosting a spring brunch, treating yourself to a special afternoon snack, or looking for an easy but impressive dessert idea, these little croffles will steal the show.
They’re fun to make, even more fun to decorate, and absolutely unforgettable once you take your first bite!

Ingredients You’ll Need for the Blueberry Croffles:

• Heavy Cream: Whipped heavy cream is the base for the dreamy, fluffy blueberry topping.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds a sweet, warm aroma to the cream, making it taste like a bakery treat.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the whipped cream without making it grainy, giving it a smooth finish.
• Freeze-Dried Blueberries (crushed into powder): For natural blueberry flavor and a beautiful purple color in the cream.
• Food Coloring (optional): A few drops help intensify the purple or blue tones for an extra pretty look.
• Fresh Blueberries: Used as a fresh, juicy topping that adds both flavor and beautiful decoration.
• Non-stick Spray (for the waffle iron): Helps to prevent sticking and ensures your croffles come out easily.
• Powdered Sugar (optional for dusting): A light dusting adds a beautiful, professional finish to your croffles.

Here are the essential tools you’ll need for making the Blueberry Croffles:

• Mini Waffle Maker: To bake the mini croissant dough into cute, crispy croffles.
• Mixing Bowl: For whipping up the blueberry-flavored cream topping.
• Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer: Makes whipping the heavy cream fast and effortless until fluffy peaks form.
• Spatula: To gently fold the freeze-dried blueberries and coloring into the whipped cream.
• Piping Bag with Star Tip: For beautifully piping the blueberry cream onto the croffles.
• Small Spoon: To sprinkle extra powdered sugar over the finished croffles.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: To measure your ingredients accurately for perfect results.
• Non-stick Spray or Pastry Brush: To grease the waffle iron lightly so the dough doesn’t stick.

Here is the full Recipe:

For the Croffles:

• 1 can pre-made croissant dough (mini croissants)

For the Blueberry Cream Topping:

• 120g (½ cup) heavy cream (cold)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp freeze-dried blueberries (ground into powder)
• A few drops purple or blue food coloring (optional)

For Decoration:

• Fresh blueberries
• Extra powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Croissant Dough

1. Preheat your mini waffle maker.
2. Unroll the pre-made croissant dough and separate it into mini croissants (or roll into small shapes if needed).
3. Lightly spray your waffle maker with non-stick spray.
4. Place a mini croissant into the waffle iron and close it gently.
5. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, or until the croffle is golden and crispy.

2. Make the Blueberry Cream

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until it starts to thicken.
2. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and continue whipping until soft peaks form.
3. Gently fold in the freeze-dried blueberry powder and a few drops of purple/blue food coloring if you want a stronger color.
4. Transfer the cream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or round tip.

3. Assemble the Croffles

1. Once the croffles are cooked and slightly cooled, pipe a generous swirl of blueberry cream on top.
2. Garnish with fresh blueberries.
3. Optionally, sprinkle with a little powdered sugar for a beautiful finish!

Tips for the Best Croffles

• Use cold croissant dough straight from the fridge for easier handling.
• Don’t overfill the waffle maker to keep nice clean edges.
• Chill the blueberry cream slightly if it gets too soft before piping.
• Top just before serving to keep the croffles crispy.

Variations You Can Try

• Use a different colored food dye to match holidays or special occasions!
• Swap blueberries for raspberries or blackberries.
• Add a drizzle of white chocolate for extra sweetness.

How to Store

• Croffles are best eaten fresh to enjoy the crispy texture.
• You can refrigerate assembled croffles for up to 1 day, but the texture will soften.
• You can also store un-topped croffles in an airtight container for up to 2 days, then reheat and top them fresh.
