• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy or double cream, cold
  
  

• ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  
  

• 1½ tablespoons pistachio paste (store-bought or homemade)
  
  

• 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  
  

• 3 tablespoons extra pistachio paste for topping
  
  

Directions

1. Chop the pistachios and set aside.
   
   

2. Whip the cold heavy cream with the sugar for about 3 minutes until soft peaks form.
   
   

3. Add the pistachio paste to the whipped cream and whip another 2 minutes until stiff peaks form.
   
   

4. Use a sharp knife to slice each croissant in half horizontally.
