This Fun Rice Paper Croissant Recipe Is Also A Protein-Packed Powerhouse

Meet Victoria Minell, a recipe developer aka the culinary wizard behind the TikTok sensation @recipesbyvictoria. She’s accrued a significant 1.7 million followers with her low-calorie, high-protein innovative recipes. What began as a fun hobby has evolved into a viral phenomenon and platform for Minell, especially with her latest creation: rice paper croissants.

In her recent video, Day 13 of a 50-day series of meals, Minell showcases a croissant recipe that packs a mere 283 calories and a whopping 25 grams of protein. Using rice paper, she simply dips it in egg yoke cuts it into three pie slice shapes, then fills it with ham and shredded cheese.

To achieve that classic French croissant shape, she starts with a proper French fold, followed by three precise letter folds to build those signature buttery layers. From there, it’s all about the crescent curl — which she nails effortlessly. Then it’s into the air fryer, and out comes golden, flaky perfection. One tear down the middle reveals a gooey, irresistible interior that basically speaks for itself.
