Matcha Mochi Croissants

croissants (day-old) (sliced in half)

g granulated sugar

water

unsalted butter

sugar

g matcha

tsp vanilla extract

tsp coconut extract

g coconut

almond flour

kirimochi (or make it below)

70 g mochiko (sweet glutinous rice flour)

g sugar

tsp matcha (+ extra for dusting)

powdered sugar (+ extra for dusting)

ml heavy whipping cream, 36% milkfat (cold)

coconut

Preheat oven to 350F.

Slice the croissants in half equatorially and set aside on a small baking tray lined with parchment paper.

In a small saucepan, combine ¼ C water with ¼ C granulated sugar.

Bring to a simmer over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Let it cool and lightly brush the insides of the croissants with simple syrup.

Make the simple syrup:

In a bowl, combine butter, sugar, matcha, egg, vanilla extract, coconut extract, shredded coconut and almond flour.

Give everything a mix with a fork.

Make the matcha coconut frangipane:

Divide the mixture onto the bottom half of each croissant.

Add a piece of kirimochi on top of the matcha coconut frangipane. (You can heat the kirimochi in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to help it heat through and puff up).

Replace the top half of the croissant and bake at 350°F/177°C for 20-25 minutes, until the mochi is soft and the croissants are crisp.

Note: If the croissants are getting brown too quickly, cover the croissants with aluminum foil. (It&#39;s best to check at about 10 minutes into the bake).

Remove from oven and let croissants cool completely.

Dust croissants with matcha and powdered sugar.

Assemble:

Combine the heavy cream, matcha and powdered sugar in a small bowl and whip with a whisk until firm.

Pipe the cream on top of the cooled croissant and garnish with shredded coconut.

Serve immediately.

Make the whipped cream topping:
