Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large croissants
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Slice the croissants into 1-inch pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, pressing down gently to ensure all the croissants absorb the custard.
Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes so the croissants can fully soak up the custard.
Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
While the pudding is baking, prepare the marmalade glaze by combining the orange marmalade and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Once the pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the warm marmalade glaze over the surface of the pudding.
Allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for decoration, if desired.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
