# Hybrid Croissant Desserts Korica's Cruffin Menu is a First for the Croatian Capital By Jana Pijak | Published 2018-05-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cruffin-menu References: [croatiaweek](https://www.croatiaweek.com/cruffins-now-in-zagreb/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/koricazagreb/) Based in Zagreb, Korica is a bakery introducing an artisan cruffin menu to a Croatian audience. The popular snack is a hybrid of traditional croissants and muffins -- first introduced by Melbourne-based [Lune Croissanterie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-gin) for Everyday Coffee a few years ago -- and follows in the footsteps of other combined desserts like the bagelwich and the world-famous cronut. "The pastry is made by proving and baking [laminated dough in a muffin mould](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richs-flips). The cruffin is then filled with a variety of creams, jams, crème pâtissières or curds, and then garnished." Located in the heart of downtown Zagreb, Korica offers a versatile cruffin menu featuring decadent toppings like [chocolate, berries, almonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almond-croissant) and lemon custard to name a few.
