- Preheat oven according to croissant dough instructions; roll out and cut triangles from the dough.
- Spoon cooled custard onto each triangle base and roll tightly from base to tip. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown; cool slightly before drizzling or dipping in ganache.
