The Kouign Amann, known for its buttery layers and caramelized sugar, is a true French classic. Now, it’s getting a fresh twist with the introduction of the Filled Kouign Amann. With flavors like Cream Cheese, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Raspberry Cream Cheese, and Cinnamon Smear, this new twist offers even more flavor without the need for extra handling after baking. It's a perfect solution for bakeries looking to reduce labor while still offering a product with a "wow" factor.

The Story Behind the Filled Kouign Amann

Inspired by a passion for innovation and great flavor, Dutchland Foods added their cinnamon smear filling to the traditional buttery Kouign Amann, and it quickly became a customer favorite. Building on that success, Cream Cheese, Blueberry Cream Cheese, and Raspberry Cream Cheese fillings were introduced in 2023, adding even more variety to this classic pastry.

What Makes It Different

While the traditional French Kouign Amann is more of a flat, buttery pastry with a caramelized sugar crust, Dutchland’s version takes it a step further. The Filled Kouign Amann stands tall, with sugar laminated into every layer. The gentle crisp of the outer layer gives way to a soft, pillowy interior, and the filling adds a luxurious surprise in every bite.

Flavors and What Makes Each Unique

• Cinnamon Smear: Warm and comforting, this flavor pairs perfectly with a morning coffee or as part of a fall pastry lineup
• Cream Cheese: Rich and smooth, the cream cheese filling makes this a versatile option, ideal for brunch or an afternoon treat
• Raspberry Cream Cheese & Blueberry Cream Cheese: These fruit-filled options bring a touch of brightness to the buttery pastry, making them perfect for a spring gathering or an afternoon coffee.

The Perfect Balance of Flavor and Texture

The buttery layers of the Kouign Amann are balanced by the richness of the filling, whether it's the tangy cream cheese, or cinnamon smear. Each bite offers a mix of crispy exterior and soft, creamy filling, making it a treat that feels both indulgent and satisfying.
