Fresh Berry Fusion
Enjoy your pastry alongside fresh, tart raspberries or add a light drizzle of raspberry jam inside to cut through the rich butter and chocolate flavors.
How to Bake the Perfect Chocolate Croissant
01Rest: Place your frozen pastries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before baking.
02Prep: Preheat your oven to 180–190 °C. For a professional, lacquered look, gently brush the tops with a whisked egg wash.
03Bake: Bake on the center oven rack for 18 to 20 minutes until the outer pastry turns golden brown and the chocolate center is fully molten.
04Cool: Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. This key step lets the internal steam escape, setting the light, flaky layers.
05Enjoy: Serve warm. Enjoy the contrast of the crisp, crunchy shell and the soft, buttery interior filled with warm chocolate.
The Science of French Lamination
Why professional chocolate croissants deliver a superior sensory experience.
01The Maillard Reaction: Oven heat causes a natural reaction between the proteins and sugars in the dough and butter, creating a beautiful golden color and a complex, rich toasted aroma.
02Steam Leavening: As the pastry bakes, the water trapped inside the European butter layers turns into steam, pushing the dough layers upward to build a signature, light honeycomb crumb.
03Flash-Freezing Preservation: Freezing the pastries rapidly at extremely low temperatures safely slows and preserves yeast activity until baking, and helps achieve a reliable, airy rise.
Wheat flour, butter 21%, chocolate 10% (sugar, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, emulsifier [soya lecithin], natural vanilla flavour), water, sugar, yeast, powdered whole milk, wheat gluten, salt, enzymes (amylases, hemicellulases), flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid), eggs.

Storage & Shelf Life
Maintain the integrity of your authentic French pastries.
01Freezer (Long-term): Keep unbaked pastries frozen at -18°C in their original packaging to help prevent freezer burn. Follow the expiration date on the package. Refrigeration is not recommended, as it can negatively affect the dough’s texture and rise.
02Post-Bake: Allow croissants to cool completely before storing in a clean, airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For best results, reheat in an oven or toaster oven for 3–5 minutes to restore crispness.
03Safety Note: Do not refreeze unbaked dough once it has thawed. Bake shortly after resting to maintain optimal texture, flakiness, and volume.
