Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Almond Croissants.
If you've ever bought Almond Croissants (Croissants aux Amandes) at a bakery you know they taste absolutely divine. I think bakeries starting making them as a way to use up day old croissants. And what a great idea it was. This pastry starts with a slighty stale croissant. First it's cut in half, moistened with a sugar syrup, and then it's filled with an almond cream. And if that wasn't enough, the almond cream is also spread on the top of the croissant along with a sprinkling of shaved almonds. The Almond Croissant is then baked until the almond cream has set and the ends of the croissants have become wonderfully crisp. I love how they look with their dusting of snowy white powdered sugar. If you're like me, you may find yourself baking croissants just so you can make these delicious twice-baked pastries.
