Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use puff pastry instead of croissant dough?

Yes! Puff pastry will give a flakier texture, but still works wonderfully for this recipe.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can bake it a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Warm slightly before serving or enjoy cold.

Do I need to use strawberries on top?

Nope! Strawberries add freshness and visual appeal, but you can skip or replace them with other berries or toppings.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Yes! It’s sweet, creamy, and super fun to eat—kids love it.

Can I reduce the sugar?

You can reduce the cinnamon-sugar topping slightly, but since the condensed milk is sweet, the overall sweetness will remain prominent.
