Not that I would ever claim to know every French pastry, but I’m reasonably certain that there’s nothing in all of France or in the French language named ‘cwah-sont’.

Assuming no sarcasm, Its a spelling attempt at the French pronuncitation of croissant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnAoRcnY4xs

That makes zero sense.
The examples of English pronounciations she gives there are truly bizarre.

But the french “r” is not like an english “w”?

I fail to see the connection to ‘cwah-sont’, apart from the first and last letter being the same, but if that was a sufficent criteria then one might as well write just anything, like ‘convalescent’.
