This Easy Chocolate Croissant recipe made with crescent rolls and a homemade gooey chocolate filling is super easy. The best part is it tastes like an old-fashioned chocolate roll, just like my great grandmother used to make. Keep reading below to find out how I make my Easy Chocolate Croissants.
Old Fashioned Chocolate Filling
This recipe came together after much debate in my family. The old-fashioned chocolate rolls my family are used to have a gritty texture I am not a fan of. I decided to make an easy chocolate roll filling with the same old-fashioned taste, minus the gritty texture and hard work.
Chocolate Croissant Filling
First, the key to getting a creamy middle is really taking your time to cook the ingredients low and slow. Make sure everything is melted together and smooth. Of course, we cannot forget that secret ingredient I mentioned.
The secret ingredient isβ¦cream cheese. It really smooths out the texture and cuts the sweetness perfectly. I just know you will love this recipe. Plus, everyone will be so impressed, they will think it took you hours sweating over a hot stove, but that will be our little secret.
What can you make Chocolate Pastries out of?
I’m telling you, I add this filling to whatever I can get my hands on. Pie dough, biscuits, croissants, this filling works with them all. If you are curious, I also have recipes using this filling for Old Fashioned Chocolate Rolls made with pie crust, and Chocolate Hand Pies using biscuits. All are equally delicious.

Now that I have swooned over the filling, we must decide on a croissant. I love a good time saving hack, and I usually don’t have all day to whip up homemade pastries. Let me tell you, the canned crescent rolls are the perfect semi-homemade hack for these Chocolate Croissants. So simple, yet still flaky and delicious.
