This Croissant Bread Pudding is a decadent dessert made with buttery croissants soaked in a creamy vanilla custard and baked to golden perfection. Perfectly rich and satisfying, it’s an elegant twist on a classic bread pudding recipe. Serve it warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce, chocolate, or a dollop of whipped cream for a show-stopping dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread Pudding

  • 6 large croissants (day-old preferred), roughly torn into pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar
  • Caramel sauce
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Fresh berries or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Prepare Croissants:
    • Place the torn croissant pieces in the prepared baking dish, arranging them evenly.
  3. Make the Custard:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt until smooth.
  4. Combine and Soak:
    • Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants, pressing down gently to ensure the croissants soak up the liquid.
    • Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the custard.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (it should jiggle slightly in the center).
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the bread pudding to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
    • Serve warm with powdered sugar, caramel sauce, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a flavor twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts to the croissants before adding the custard.
  • If the top browns too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
