This Deep-Fried, Custard-Filled Croissant Would Destroy Your Twinkie

We love food mashups here at Foodbeast, so hearing about a deep-fried croissant, stuffed with custard, excites us quite a bit.

Extraordinary Desserts in San Diego, CA, serves up this flaky treat and calls it “The Froissant.” Master Pastry Chef Karen Krasne created The Froissant. It’s deep-fried, rolled in vanilla bean sugar and filled with vanilla custard. It’s only available Thursday through Saturdays though, so it’s more of a weekend fix for your sweet tooth.

So we’ve heard of the Cronut, the Piessant, the Pretzsant, and now we’re going to have to keep our eye on The Froissant. Count us in.
