Elevate this creamy lemon slice with buttery, flaky supermarket croissants.
Ingredients:
  • 30g butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 x 360g pkt Frozen Bake At Home Croissants, slightly thawed
  • 375g cream cheese, at room temperature, chopped
  • 55g (1/3 cup) caster sugar, plus 1 1/2 tbsp extra
  • 3 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) lemon juice
  • 1 egg
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Line a 16 x 26 slice pan with foil, leaving overhang on the sides. Brush the foil with half of the melted butter.
  • Slice the croissants in half horizontally using a large serrated knife, then allow them to thaw completely.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on a clean surface. Arrange the croissant bases in a rectangular shape, slightly overlapping. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about 18 x 28cm, patching any gaps with extra dough. Transfer to the pan, allowing the dough to slightly rise up the sides. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
  • Whip cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, juice, and egg with electric beaters until smooth. Spread over the cooked base. Roll out croissant tops into a rectangle to cover the slice. Gently lay on top of the filling, brush with remaining butter, and sprinkle with extra sugar.
  • Bake until golden, then cool and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
  • Lift the slice out of the pan using the paper and transfer it to a chopping board. Then, cut it into squares before serving.
