Plantain Croissants

I love plantain tarts, I can, but who has the time to make dough from scratch. So refrigerated,ready-made dough has become my 'go to'.

The refrigerated dough makes eight croissants, which is enough for one ripe plantain.

For the filling I use one ripe plantian, which I crush into a paste-like consistency. The amount of sugar you use, I will leave that up to personal preference.  

I use two or three tablespoons as I have a wicked sweet tooth'. Actually, the best thing to do is just taste the paste.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla, half a teaspoon grated nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon.

The paste is now a sallow yellow, add a drop of red food coloring for more visual appeal.

You may also add raisins or currants to the filling.

Follow the directions on the canister of refrigerated dough for the desired temperature to preheat the oven

Open the canister of refrigerated dough, lay them flat on a baking sheet, use a little over a teaspoon of filling in each and roll into croissants.
Enjoy!
