Custard and Strawberry Filled Croissants

I’ve been admiring the most kawaii (Japanese for “cute”) treats served in Japanese cafes…

And wanted to make sumn adorably delicious here at home!

… tadaaa!

What I did was split open a fresh baked croissant (or a warmed up ready-made one), spoon in creamy egg custard (recipe below), and add your juicy strawberries! YUM is an understatement!

I’ve even included a Vegan Custard recipe because I’m cool like dat.
