The Victoria Sandwich, Reimagined at Miana's Croissanterie

A timeless teatime classic, the Victoria Sandwich was a favourite of Queen Victoria herself—light sponge cake layered with whipped cream and jam, served alongside her afternoon tea. At Miana Croissanterie, we’ve taken this British tradition and given it a French-inspired twist—swapping sponge for our signature butter croissant.

Flaky, golden, and rich with slow-churned butter, our croissants add a new dimension to this elegant treat. Layered with vanilla-scented whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it’s still every bit the afternoon delight—just reimagined in the language of pastry.

Miana’s Croissant Victoria Sandwich Serves 2

You’ll need:

• 2 butter croissants from Miana Croissanterie

• ½ cup heavy cream

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 tbsp powdered sugar

• 6–8 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

• A light dusting of icing sugar (optional)

To make:

1. Whip the cream with vanilla and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

2. Slice each croissant horizontally, leaving a small hinge to keep the halves attached.

3. Spoon the whipped cream generously onto the bottom half.

4. Layer on the strawberries.

5. Gently close the croissant and finish with a dusting of icing sugar.

6. Serve immediately—for brunch, dessert, or an indulgent tea.

Light, luxurious, and unmistakably Miana.
