Ingredients 

For Croissants

  • 6 mini store-bought croissants
  • 4 oz cream cheese - softened at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup lemon curd
  • 1/3 cup confectioners sugar

  • Spread one-half of the croissants with some of the cream cheese mixture.
  • Layer strawberries on top of the cream cheese and put the tops on the croissants.
  • Place croissants on a grill pan or cooling rack with a pan or parchment below it so they are ready to be glazed.
  • Divide the remaining powdered sugar and lemon juice into two small bowls.
  • Add yellow food coloring to one bowl and pink to the other and stir.
  • Add additional food coloring as needed to obtain the desired color.
  • Drizzle the pink and yellow glaze over the croissants.

Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • To prep ingredients in advance, slice strawberries and make the lemon cream cheese mixture. Store both in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Remove the lemon cream cheese from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to assembling the croissants.
  • I recommend that you serve and eat these within 2-3 hours of assembling them.
