Best Croissant Bread Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

4-5 croissants

2 eggs

2/3 cup white sugar

2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1 Tablespoon vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Grease a small oven-safe casserole dish.

Chop up croissants and place in dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, and salt until combined.

Pour egg mixture over croissants, covering completely.

Bake until pudding has puffed up and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40-50 minutes.

While the bread pudding is in the final stretch of cooking, combine all sauce ingredients except vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Spoon warm pudding into individual dessert dishes; serve with sauce.

A wonderful, easy dessert to make. You can easily add in fruit too after the croissant bread pudding bakes like sliced peaches, blueberries, raspberry or more! I love to eat this bread pudding warm with fresh whipped cream. I cannot even tell you how magnificent this bread pudding tastes!
