Yield: 10
Ingredients: 8 croissants; 1 liter of milk; 3 egg yolks; 200 g powdered sugar; 3 packets of vanilla sugar; 350 g butter; 150 g ground poppy seeds; 500 g mascarpone; 4 eggs; 200 g powdered sugar

Preparing the croissants: Cut the croissants into slices and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle them with ground poppy seeds and set aside.

Milk mixture: Heat the milk in a saucepan. Add the egg yolks, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and butter. Stir constantly and bring to a boil, then pour this mixture over the croissants with poppy seeds. Gently mix so the pastry can absorb it.

Cream: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the yolks with the sugar and mascarpone into a smooth cream. Whip the egg whites into stiff peaks and gently fold them into the mascarpone cream.

Layering: Arrange a layer of poppy-seed croissants on the bottom of a bowl or baking dish, add a layer of cream and alternate the layers until you have used all the ingredients.

Finishing: You can sprinkle the surface with ground poppy seeds or cocoa. Let the dessert rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour so the flavors can meld.
