How to Make Creamy Croissant Sandwich

3. Gently fold in the chopped fresh fruit, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the filling.
4. Slice each croissant in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
5. Spread a generous portion of the cream cheese filling on the bottom half of each croissant.
6. Top with the other half of the croissant and press down gently to secure the filling.
7. If warming, place the filled croissants on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
8. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired, slice into halves or quarters, and serve immediately.
