Chocolate Croissant Bread & Butter Pudding

This rich and indulgent twist on classic bread & butter pudding uses buttery chocolate croissants for an extra decadent dessert!

Ingredients:

• 4–6 chocolate croissants, torn into chunks
• 2 cups (500ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (250ml) milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup (90g) Sultanas
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Icing sugar (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
2. Prepare the croissants: Tear the chocolate croissants into large pieces and place them in the baking dish. Sprinkle sultanas over them.
3. Make the custard: In a bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
4. Assemble the pudding: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants, pressing them down slightly to absorb the liquid. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and set but slightly wobbly in the center.
6. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar. Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!
