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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the croissants into large chunks or slices and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 6

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press the croissant pieces gently to help them absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Dot the top of the pudding with small pieces of the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
