Indulge in the irresistible decadence of Coconut Croissant Bread Pudding, a tropical twist on a classic comfort dessert. This easy yet luxurious recipe transforms buttery croissants into a velvety custard soaked in a rich blend of coconut milk, heavy cream, and vanilla. Topped with a sprinkle of sweetened shredded coconut for a toasty, golden finish, this bread pudding offers a delightful balance of flavor and texture. Perfectly baked in under an hour, it's an ideal choice for brunch gatherings, casual dinners, or anytime you crave a hint of the tropics. Serve it warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and let its irresistible aroma and creamy richness steal the spotlight at your table.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and evenly spread them in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, ensuring all pieces are saturated. Gently press down on the croissants with the back of a spoon to help absorb the liquid.
Sprinkle the shredded sweetened coconut evenly over the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
