Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 2 cups strawberries
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and evenly spread them into the prepared baking dish.
Slice the strawberries and scatter them over the croissant pieces, ensuring even distribution.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and strawberries, gently pressing down with a spatula to ensure all pieces are soaked.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the croissants to absorb the custard.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve warm. Optionally, pair it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
