Easy Strawberry and Cardamom Croissants are a delightful and sweet treat to enjoy on any occasion!
Dessert, first?
OR? Maybe dessert for breakfast?
Okay, now we’re talking. Truth: I still eat a mini cranberry orange scone in the morning because I love the texture and flavor first thing. This habitis leftover from my pregnancy days. Probably shouldn’t do it, but, meh.
Life’s about balance and following consumption of said scone I have a very healthy smoothie. So, it can’t be that bad, right? Anyway, continuing on with how we should eat dessert for breakfast takes another form with these Easy Strawberry and Cardamom Croissants.
A simple strawberry jam packed with flavor thanks to some cardamom and then smothered over fluffy, golden croissants. We will have dessert for breakfast come morning.
Let’s see how these Easy Strawberry and Cardamom Croissant are made!
What’s in these Easy Strawberry and Cardamom Croissants?
Continuing with the easy and flavorful theme, I thought when it comes to making a delightful treat for the morning, ingredients need to be simple. You’ll find:
- Fresh Strawberries
- Lemon Juice
- Granulated Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Cardamom
- Packaged Croissants
- Powdered Sugar, for garnish
Tips for Making Easy Strawberry and Cardamom Croissants:
1) Strawberries. You can use fresh or frozen. If you do end up using frozen make sure they are defrosted before adding. If you use fresh, make sure to cut the strawberries into quarters to help reduce the amount of cooking time.
2) Cardamom. You can find this spice at grocery stores! Start with a small amount becausethis spice packs a punch!
3) Croissants. Ain’t nobody got time to make homemade croissants. If you want to go for it! However, that blue tube in the refrigeratorsection will never let you down.
Can I prepare the Strawberry-Cardamom ahead of time?
Yes! You can store the jam in the refrigeratorin an airtightcontainer for up to 1 week!
Can I freeze the Easy Strawberry and Cardamom Croissants?
You bet! You can freeze the finished productup to 1 month in the freezer. Thaw before serving.
Substitutes for the Cardamom flavor:
If cardamom isn’t your jam, you could always try nutmeg, ground ginger, or if you want spicy-spicy jalapeno!

You can try using an alternative sweetener next time. I use honey infused cbd sticks most of the time, either to eliminate or reduce my use of powdered sugar.
