We all know what a comforting dish bread pudding is, and in this recipe, croissant and high-quality chocolate put a luxurious twist on the modest original. I urge you to splurge on good chocolate for this recipe – it is well worth it.
Ingredients:
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 8 day-old butter croissants, cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 3.5 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 3.5 ounces milk chocolate, broken into pieces
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Coat an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Whisk the egg yolks, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Add the croissant pieces and the chocolates. Using a large spoon, ensure all the croissant pieces are coated with the cream mixture. Let absorb for 20 minutes.
- Pour the croissant and cream mixture in the coated baking dish and bake for 35 minutes.
Yields 8 servings (or 6 at my house).
