Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large croissants
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
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!
