"It's not hard to stumble across desserts and sweet treats at Trader Joe's. You'll find plenty of frozen desserts, candies, chocolates, and even baked goods, catering to just about every flavor profile and taste preference imaginable. If pastries are more your thing, TJ's has got you covered on that front as well. While Trader Joe's keeps some pastries stocked in the bakery section, the real treasure trove of pastries lies in TJ's frozen aisle."
"Unlike previous croissants, Trader Joe's Almond Croissants do call for overnight proofing. It's an easy enough process - I just left a croissant on a baking sheet at room temperature overnight and woke up in the morning to find a puffed-up croissant ready to bake. However, once the croissant was baked, I was met with a rather lackluster treat, and one that could've seriously benefited from more almond flavor all-around."
Trader Joe's stocks many sweet items across frozen desserts, candies, chocolates, baked goods, and pastries, with the frozen aisle offering the widest pastry selection. Nine frozen pastries were sampled and ranked using criteria focused on dough performance after heating, overall flavor balance, filling quantity, and texture. Trader Joe's Almond Croissants require overnight proofing and will puff up before baking. The croissants bake with a satisfactory exterior but frequently retain a soggy interior instead of crisp, layered flakiness. The almond frangipane filling is underwhelming in flavor and quantity, which diminishes the overall pastry experience.
