Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chocolate croissants
- 1 cup chocolate ice cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 chocolate croissants, 1 cup of chocolate ice cream, 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup, whipped cream for topping, and chocolate shavings for garnish.
- Take the chocolate croissants and slice them in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom piece for each croissant.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, take the chocolate ice cream and generously fill the bottom half of each croissant. Aim for about 1/2 cup of ice cream per croissant half.
- Once the croissant halves are filled with ice cream, gently place the top half of the croissant back on top, creating a sandwich. Press down lightly to secure the ice cream.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top of each croissant sandwich, allowing it to cascade down the sides for an indulgent touch.
- Finish off the sandwiches by adding a dollop of whipped cream on top of each one.
- For the final touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Croissant Ice Cream Sandwiches!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your ice cream is slightly softened for easy spreading, but not melted. Let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before assembling.
- Croissant Selection: Choose fresh, high-quality chocolate croissants from a local bakery for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill Your Plates: Place your serving plates in the freezer for 10 minutes before assembling to help keep the ice cream firm.
- Precision Cutting: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the croissants cleanly and evenly.
- Syrup Technique: Drizzle chocolate syrup slowly and in a zigzag pattern for a professional presentation.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the sandwiches and freeze for 15 minutes before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
- Garnish Creatively: Experiment with additional toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
