Croissant "Carrots" with Herby Lemon Cream Cheese Recipe
Introduction
These flaky Croissants are dressed up as carrots and guaranteed to be a hit with little (and big) bunnies alike. Filled with a creamy mix of lemony cream cheese, sweet grated carrot and fresh herbs, they’re piped for that playful carrot shape, then finished with a sprig of parsley on top. Fun to make, even more fun to eat and perfect for getting the kids excited about something savoury on the Easter table. Cute, clever and guaranteed to disappear quickly!
