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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Slice the croissants into 1-inch pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant pieces, pressing down gently to ensure all the croissants absorb the custard.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes so the croissants can fully soak up the custard.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once the pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the warm marmalade glaze over the surface of the pudding.

Step 9

Allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for decoration, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
