From brookies (brownie-like cookie) to cronuts (croissant-donut), hybrid pastries have been taking the world by storm—and for good reason. These delectable creations combine two or more pastries together, creating something unique and indulgent.
Bakeries are constantly coming up with unique cross-breed bakes, with the latest craze being the Croon, a croissant shaped to resemble a full moon. First seen at Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery, a French bakery in New York City, as Crème Suprêmes, this pastry has since gone viral over Tiktok for its fluffy pastry and creamy filling.

While not all of us are able to travel to New York City for a taste of this croissant hybrid, local bakery Swish Rolls has created its own take on the decadent treat. Named after its circular shape, these croissant moons comprise rich crème fillings encased in a buttery, flaky pastry.
These pastries are available in five flavours including pistachio, Valrhona chocolate and Ham N’ Cheez. The latter is perfect for savoury lovers and comes stuffed with ham and cheese.
