, ,

Looking for your next boba + dessert obsession? Meet the Croissant Ice Cream Sandwich—with a Better Boba twist. Imagine a warm, flaky croissant split open and stuffed with creamy vanilla ice cream, then topped with gooey, caramelized brown sugar boba. Yeah, it’s a whole vibe.

Whether you’re planning a cute dessert night in or impressing your foodie friends, this recipe is an easy yet over-the-top treat that brings together buttery pastry, chill vanilla, and Better Boba’s signature chewy pearls.

🛒 What You’ll Need:

  • 1 fresh croissant (store-bought or bakery style works!)

  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream

  • 1/3 cup Better Boba brown sugar boba pearls (dry)

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup water

  • Optional: flaky salt or crushed nuts for topping

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Cook Your Better Boba

  1. Bring a small pot of water to boil.

  2. Add 1/3 cup of dry Better Boba and stir gently.

  3. Reduce the heat; Boil for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. Put the lid on and let it sit for 8-10 minutes.

  5. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Step 2: Make the Brown Sugar Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup water.

  2. Stir and simmer on medium heat until syrupy (about 4–5 minutes).

  3. Add your cooked boba and simmer for 5 more minutes until glossy and thick.

🔥 Tip: Want café-style shine? Simmer an extra 2–3 minutes until the syrup clings to the pearls.

Step 3: Build the Dessert

  1. Slice your croissant horizontally (don’t cut all the way through).

  2. Toast lightly if you want a warm + cold contrast.

  3. Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream inside.

  4. Spoon the warm brown sugar boba right on top.

  5. Optional: Sprinkle flaky salt or crushed roasted nuts for texture.

💡 Make It Extra:

  • Drizzle with caramel or condensed milk

  • Swap vanilla for matcha or coconut ice cream

  • Add sliced bananas or strawberries inside
