Step-by-step method:

  1. Allow croissants to thaw for 30 mins then bake at 170 degrees for 16 mins and allow to cool.
  2. While they bake, make the whipped cream (this recipe uses gelatine, so the cream holds its shape)
  3. Bloom the gelatine in a small bowl with cold water (1 ½ tbsp) and a tsp of heavy cream sprinkle the gelatine on top to allow it to absorb into a soft gel.
  4. Melt the bloomed gelatine for 5 seconds until you can’t see granules, it should be pourable and smooth.
  5. In a cold bowl, whip the cream until foamy, add the icing sugar and vanilla then whip until just before soft peaks.
  6. -Slowly add the gelatine with the mixer on low.
  7. Continue whipping on medium until the cream is firm enough to hold itself and put in a piping bag and use immediately.
  8. Slice each croissant from top to bottom down the middle
  9. Pipe in your vanilla cream and top with fresh berries and serve!
