Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat together all pistachio cream ingredients until smooth and fluffy.
Slice croissants in half horizontally. Spread a layer of pistachio cream on the bottom half, followed by raspberry preserves or fresh raspberries. Close the croissants.
Brush tops with milk, then spread a thin layer of pistachio cream on top.
Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and warm.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes
