Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Croissants
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Cut the croissants into large chunks or slices and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and combined.
Gradually pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press the croissant pieces gently to help them absorb the liquid.
Dot the top of the pudding with small pieces of the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
