Ingredients

  • 10 mini croissant rolls

Pineapple Cherry Filling

  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • ½ cup maraschino cherries, coarsely chopped

Cream Cheese Filling

Caramel Glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.

Pineapple Cherry Filling

  • In a medium saucepan, add the pineapples and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring pineapple mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally.
  • Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thickened and most of the liquid has reduced down.
  • Add maraschino cherries and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on low for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat on low until the sugar is incorporated.

Prepare the Croissants

  • Cut a slit down the center of the croissant lengthwise until you get to the end, making sure not to go through the bottom side.
  • Next, cut multiple slits horizontally, again making sure not to go through the bottom.
  • Gently peel back the top, leaving the sides intact so you have a pocket in the center.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the pocket of the croissant.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of pineapple filling over the cream cheese.
  • Carefully pull the star edges back towards the center of the croissant.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Caramel Glaze

  • In a small bowl, melt the butter then add the brown sugar and honey. Mix until the butter is fully incorporated.
  • Brush the bottoms of each croissant and place onto a foil lined cookie sheet, or into a pancake sheet pan.
  • Brush the tops and the sides of the croissants with remaining caramel glaze.
  • Sprinkle the tops of each croissant with shredded coconut .
  • Bake for 15-16 minutes or until browned and hardened.
  • Remove from the pan immediately and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Tips
  • Warm fruit filling can soften the croissants too much before baking. Let it cool completely before assembling.
  • Adding too much filling can cause the croissants to burst open while baking.
  • Room temperature cream cheese creates the smoothest cheesecake filling.
