Croissants aux Amandes

Since there were left over croissants from yesterday, I decided to make Croissants aux Amandes. The croissants are dipped in a simple syrup, filled with rich almond cream filling (crème d'amandes), topped with the same cream and sprinkle with almond flakes and baked. Dust with confectioners sugar after baking.
