Pastry Ingredients

• 6 rice paper sheets

3. Dip one rice paper sheet into the pastry mixture until just softened.

4. Add a tablespoon of the filling onto the rice paper sheet.

5. Fold and assemble into a croissant shape as shown in the video, wrapping a second rice paper sheet around to seal.

8. Dust with powdered monk fruit sweetener and enjoy while warm!
