Trader Joe's is shaking up its dessert section with the debut of the new Raspberry Croissant Carré.
Trader Joe's sweet new Raspberry Croissant Carré starts with a classic laminated dough, which consists of layers upon layers of dough and butter. The dough is then paired with a tart, yet sweet raspberry filling with a touch of lemon juice. But instead of folding the dough into the traditional croissant shape that most people are familiar with, the layers of dough are instead sandwiched around the fruit filling, like a coffee cake. The result is a much more cake-like dessert that's finished with coarse sugar crystals on top.
Big enough to serve six, but fancy enough for brunch with friends, the new Raspberry Croissant Carré is a perfect holiday breakfast option.
