I Made The Viral Rice Paper Croissant VEGAN | Mary's Test Kitchen

If you too get the mysterious urge to make croissants during the height of summer, perhaps these quick TIK TOK RICE PAPER CROISSANTS might be the answer?
Croissants made from rice paper went viral on Tik Tok this past month and after seeing @IngaLam's version, I got curious!
- Could I make VEGAN rice paper croissants?
- What would they taste like? Are they good?
- And (for my own benefit) could I make a keto version that is just as quick and easy as the original version?

I feel like a big missing taste in this recipe is yeast, since croissants are usually a slow-risen dough. Might be worth adding a pinch of yeast to the batter and leaving it to prove for a bit before proceeding with the recipe.

Can't wait to give this a try, I'm vegan and GF and I don't think I've ever had a decent vegan and gluten-free croissant. Thanks so much for experimenting with this!

[Mopsie]

The classical music while working on the keto version was top tier. Your production quality overall has greatly increased over the years! Keep it up!

[dibamoca]

I have never heard of this but I enjoy your experiments 😊

[MissNoechen]

What a fun thing to try! I don't think it's something most people will put into their regular meal rotation, but that's also not necessarily the point.. I love how you just experiment with cooking and food and how you are so open to "weirder" methods!

[InkaHalme]

That's interesting! I'm not vegan and don't follow any vegan channels but might just do the latter!
I found you from Hermann's shorts about peanut tofu, the comments were nearly raving about you, how you made it before and how well it worked out.

[ValariaJet]

As someone who watches your channel for inspo for gluten free cooking, this was so helpful. I think reducing the sweetener even more and instead using raisins/dried cherries in the layers would help it have more of that traditional croissant texture. I'd also add a tiny bit of cinnamon to the batter - not to flavour it - but as I have found it helps cover up some of the slightly chemical flavour when using sweetners or some vegan products.

This is very interesting, and at least fun to do as an experiment! I can feel the collective french catacombs turning over in their graves though. Haha

I havent watched your videos in a long time so it was great to see how cinematic-ly edited your videos have become!😆❤ I remember in the past you had health issues regarding your hands/arms, im glad to see u doing better.

[maghurt]

Mary, I just love what you do, thanks!

[summerjoy]

I love that you tried this. I've been playing with this too. I have a version using mung bean protein and sesame seeds between the layers,

[伏見猿比古-kc]

nothing else it's given me some ideas for more creative desserts. Like rice paper pastries.

[tamcon]

Will It . . . Croissant? Of course not, it's rice paper and tortillas! Thanks for posting, Mary 🙂

[DavidPaulMorgan]

I love your 'tests' - it reminds me of *me* when I'm trying vegan/GF versions of traditional recipes! The pyrex air fryer looks really 'cool'.

[GabrielPettier]

5:45 yes, thank you, i'm picky about it 🇫🇷 but you said it perfectly the second time :)

your results look really nice! I'd be surprised if the taste is similar to a croissant of course, but maybe that's half the fun of it 😆

[Trund]

What fun experiments! They all look delicious, I must say!

[CheapLazyVegan]

I really wanted to try this but i had no idea how to do it!

[katiechamberlin]

For some reason I liked the look of the tortilla croissants better lol

[barefacedquestions]

I won't try this, but you have encouraged me to experiment with ...vegan puff pastry because I miss pate chaud, a French-inspired Vietnamese meaty puff pastry. Thanks for the fun video.

I'm wondering if the tortillas are the kind that you can thin out by pulling them apart, similar to how you'd split open pita bread. If you are able to thin each of the tortillas out, then try it, it might work out better. Just keep the layer count down.
