Description
Decadent Buttery Croissant Bread Pudding: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large croissants, preferably a day or two old
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter, for greasing the baking dish
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Tear the croissants into bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in the greased baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, ensuring they are all soaked thoroughly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- For an extra touch, drizzle with warm caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use day-old croissants for the best texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by altering the sugar amount.
