BAKE WITH ME | pumpkin & chocolate round croissants! 🥐

Let's bake some delicious round croissants! 🥐 Today we are trying our hand at baking these treats inspired by the viral creations at Lafayette Bakery in NYC. Happy baking! 💫
RECIPE:
+ 2 sheets of puff pastry
+ 1/4 cup softened butter
+ 4 oz of softened cream cheese
+ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
+ 2 cups powdered sugar
+ Pinch of sea salt
+ 1 tbsp of cocoa powder
+ 1 tbsp of pumpkin puree
+ 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
+ 1 tsp of turmeric (or orange dye)
+ Pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, & mint to garnish
DIRETIONS:
+ Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
+ Thaw puff pastry and roll out as much as you can.
+ Use a pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry into even strips.
+ Roll the strips into a circular shape. You can combine multiple strips depending on what size you would like.
+ Place dough rounds on baking sheet leaving a couple inches of space in between.
+ Bake for 20 mins while checking periodically.
+ Make cream cheese frosting by combing the butter, cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, & salt in a mixer. Beat on low until smooth.

12 year baker here. Nex time, create a thicker pumpkin filling and spread over 4 or 5 inches of the pastry like you would a cinnamon roll. Do within the first 6 or 7 inches of the big strip you made so the filling is concentrated toward the center of the roll and will be held in better. Second, freeze or refrigerate your rolls for about 20 minutes before placing them in the oven. love you Allison!! Another great video.

[@xprettypinkpolishx]

Loved this vlog Allison! I’ll have to try this recipe, also such a cozy vlog! As I just graduated from my Masters of Business close to the end of August, and trying to find a job in this new season it has been a bit stressful as I find many companies aren’t hiring in Q4 now( the end of the year) , these vlogs are bringing comfort in these days for me thank you so much!💗

[@rainbow616]

Hey Allison, I'm a real foodie and I love to cook and bake so I love it whenever you bake and ofcourse the more you practice the better you becone but the journey is lovely in itself. So cosy. 🍂🍁☕🥐💕

[@marigoldsky3799]

Looks delicious and very cute!! ☀️☀️

[@chloefuller2473]

Allison!!! They look freaking amazing!!!!

[@operacionanaconda]

Omg they look sooo yummy!! What a lovely chef you are!! 😍😍😋😋😋

[@Sharon-nq1ff]

I knew it, I knew it, you were going to come home and bake the NY croissants. lol. Hey, I give you credit for trying, but they did turn out very cute and adorable. It would be a great idea to take to a holiday dinner. I do enjoy watchings your vlogs. Keep on giving us inspirations.

[@blahh003]

I appreciate the exploration of music, definitely more holiday-esque. Although I love the alternative playlists you normally play like ‘The Lake’

[@jackyhendrikx8838]

It looks good and so cute for the first time 😊

[@jhanarix8755]

Definitely going to try these. I think I am going to use refrigerator croissant rolls and spread the pumpkin mixture onto part of the strips. Thanks for the recipe

[@gailrubin9029]

Absolutely love this video ❤️

[@ChaiCake08]

I love your vlogs! Your trip to New York looked lovely, and those croissants look good! I love the icing you made, and I was going to recommend the goji berry powder, I think it will make a great color for frosting. 😊❤🍂🥐

[@susishearer9531]

Your videos are so fun and adorable to watch. I love quirky and the mini pumpkins are adorably quirky! They look delicious. You might try a much thinner piping tip to make the hole for the filling. Your videos bring me such a dose of peace and comfort as I watch them throughout the day.

[@gayathriiyer5207]

Hey Allison, Its been a while since I commented on here. A little busy this fall season and a lot going on, but I make sure your videos are on my top priority list. Lately, the Fall with Allison 🍂 videos I have really enjoying them. I love the cozy vibes. Its been such a pleasure to watch you and I think I am loving Fall. Your videos are so mindful and filled with so many fun ideas and inspiration that everyone can try out during this amazing season. I must say you have been one youtuber that I constantly return to every week because I find your videos perfect during this time of the year. Thank you for such thoughtful and amazing content. With so much love 😍🥰💝 from Austin.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Hello, lovely! I hope all is well. I completely understand & wish you a beautiful autumn! 🍂 I'm so glad you are still enjoying the videos. Much much love ✨

[@AmaniHanna]

You guys are adorable lol the end scene 😂🥲

[@kgold88]

Oh these are so unique and would love to try them. I'd probably try to poke a chopstick into them to make the hole to fill them.

[@zoezaharias2481]

love you so much allison!! you’re the only youtuber i watch anymore and i just love going through the seasons with you 🍂❄️🌸🌞 i also make bucket lists for every season and try to make the most of them and you’re the only other person i know who does that hahaha🥰 also i love that brandon’s getting more comfortable on camera!!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Ahhh thank you, sweet Zoe 💫💌🍂 I love that we get to celebrate the seasons together!

[@Sarah83243]

This video was too cute and too realistic! I saw a lot of myself in this video! ❤

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

🥰💌 glad you enjoyed it!

[@natiespeacefromthepieces4573]

I am never the first here....these look delicious...I am originally from Lafayette Louisiana now in Arkansas:) your content is the best.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Ahhh thank you so much for being here! 🤭🫶

[@VeronicaCostaF]

For a first try they are perfect

[@VeronicaCostaF]

I don't know if anyone has said this TIP in the comments but you can use filling before you roll and bake the pastry. I will be trying that :)

[@donnajohnson6403]

Allison…. You are pure joy! You make everything you do fun. One tip? Maybe add the filling on the strips before rolling up. Kinda like cinnamon rolls?? Maybe? I’m no expert. Mouth was watering watching this! Love you bunches!!!🎃

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Sweetness! 💫 thank you so much 🫶 I think that’s a great idea 🎃

[@leeogonzalezvlogs9738]

Me encanta ver todo lo que haces yo veo tus videos para aprender hacer tus ricos postres.

[@OliviaLovejoy]

Kudos for trying!

[@BetsyBHAPPY]

This was very entertaining 🤗 you made me laugh when you guys were trying them🤭🤭😂

[@LiveLaughLoveMirna]

Such a cute video! 🍂🧡

[@jaune-soleil]

The intro 😍 love it!!!!!?

[@tatianavelasco1335]

so good for those pumpkin crossiants!

[@greetingsfrombella]

Ooooh you made them yourself, how amazing 😍

[@emc6130]

Love this idea so much. I wonder if baking them with a cookie sheet over them with something to weight it down will help. Also, maybe spread filling on each strand before you roll. I'm definitely going to try it. Love your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@MeganWall1019]

You are the best girl! I need a best friend like you!!

[@darinroberts3528]

Loveee your apron

[@emanuelabuzin7022]

You are very talented 😊

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

So kind! Thank you 🥰

[@serendipityskitchen]

That was a cute video and the exchange between you and your husband was fun. I can imagine that after the video shut off you covered the croissants with chocolate and then ate them. lol

[@rachelgerlach5101]

Annatto seed powder is also a great yellow/orange

[@taylorjeanloft]

these were too cute! 😊🎃 i am not an experienced baker, but i have seen bakers use chilled butter as layers between their pastry - maybe that brings that golden brown and flakiness? i like someone else’s idea of spreading the filling on just before rolling them which could be delish too! i’d love to try these, thanks for sharing such a cute fall bake!! 🫶

[@handworks2024]

Great job trying to make them. Maybe a much thinner piping tool to insert the icing or add the icing when you roll it?

[@Em_284]

LOVE this!!!! Such a sweet video💕 I do think if someone recreates and has trouble with them standing up, maybe try to find a way to prop them up while they’re still hot/warm?? Still so so cute!!! I love it!!!

[@emarielalmazar1965]

Hey Allison bickerstaff I love your vlogs so much and please put a heart on this comment as well and as bright for your wonderful day.😊😮

[@KimBirdwondersChannel]

Hi 😊 I think they would be even better if you would make them with croissant dough! Regular puff pastry usually tastes quite plain and is a bit too puffy. The buttery croissant dough would make this even tastier I think 😊 They look very cute though and I think you did a great job!🎉

[@judykhaleck8034]

Hi Allison, How are you? How was your weekend? I ❤️ watching your NY travel vlogs last week. You should try making the Vietnamese soup PHO 🍜. It’s perfect for cold weather if you want something warm in your tummy. 👫🦋🤍❤️🎃💡✨

[@anitaworking8033]

Buenas tardes desde el sur de España son las 16:22 PM. 🌸

[@bri8998]

Give yourself more credit! They're adorbs!

[@JK-tp6nh]

Recommendation, use a round food ring mold, that will keep their form next time.

[@nejv5028]

Good job, thanks for sharing with us! I think itd be really good to add the filling on top before you roll it and then bake with it , and maybe add some nutella to the frosting 🤪

[@gracecolon7987]

I want to make the croissant with the chocolate and the vanilla

[@minervalopez6410]

Hola buenos días lista para ver el video con mi cafecito saludos hermosa 🎃

[@luminous566]

You are better than my sister whenever she makes a cake that is either doughy or burnt😭😂She is very bad at baking, unlike me. I'm almost skilled. I also think what you've done is so cute 🧡😊

[@rosirg0106]

Great video like always. You should “take us” to Mount Dora and also remember St Petersburg!!!!

[@jennifercasavant-yealy900]

You needed butter to brown the pastry ~ layer with butter then roll it. 😊

[@rachelgerlach5101]

Beetroot/beet powder is a good food-safe and natural red colorant

[@jessicadeane8584]

Love Allison’s content. Does anyone know of any other bloggers that do cozy autumn and Christmas vlogs?

[@sutapabaksi9152]

Hi Allison . I enjoy your videos and vlogs. Love those pumpkin spoons in the white pumpkin holder. Can you please put the link where you purchase them from.? Thank you

[@colineange7291]

😊 you need to ad yeast in dough in france it s call « pate levé feuilleté « And it’ s delicious .
