COCONUT CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
My new favorite desserts are bread puddings made with croissants. Not low fat but rich and satisfying. As with any bread pudding, the mixture can sit up to 24 hours before baking.

I'm a fan of coconut and bread pudding, so I thought, 'Why not combine them?" I was thrilled with the outcome. The recipe is especially good for holidays and gatherings because it travels well and is just delicious at room temperature. -Devon Delaney, Westport, Connecticut

COCONUT CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
I saw this recipe a couple of years ago in Family Circle Magazine. Usually, I might read the recipe and think I will try it, but I throw out the magazine before I do. But, this recipe was different. I HAD to try it and I'm so glad I did! My entire East TX family loves bread pudding. This one quickly became everyone's...

Steps:
- 1. Before I give the "regular" directions, let me add: I get the HUGE croissants at Sam's Club Bakery and use as many as needed to fill an 11 x 17 inch baking dish. I also use the Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bars, chopped, instead of chocolate chips. And, I have been known to put a little extra coconut in. This is very rich and decadent. I have never felt the need to dust it with confectioners sugar! I hope you enjoy!
- 2. Whisk together egg yolks, whole eggs, milk, coconut milk, sugar, coconut extract, vanilla and salt.
- 3. Coat a 2 1/2 qt baking dish with cooking spray. Cut croissants in half horizontally. Place bottom halves, cut-side up, in prepared dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and coconut. Cover with top halves of croissants, cut-side down. Pour egg mixture over top. (Before next step, I place waxed paper or plastic wrap over the croissants.) Top with baking sheet weighed down with cans so croissants get pressed into and submerged in liquid. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- 4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove baking sheet used as weight (and waxed paper/plastic wrap if used). Cover pudding loosely with foil. Place pudding pan in a larger pan on oven rack. Pour hot water into larger pan to fill to a depth of 1 inch.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove foil' bake an additional 30 minutes or until temperature registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Carefully remove dish to wire rack; cool slightly. Dust with confectioners sugar before serving, if desired.
Tips:
- Using stale croissants is key to achieving a moist and flavorful bread pudding. Fresh croissants will absorb too much liquid and become soggy.
- If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute regular milk or almond milk. However, coconut milk will give the bread pudding a richer flavor.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and create a tender bread pudding.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough bread pudding.
- Bake the bread pudding until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
Conclusion:
Coconut croissant bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover croissants and coconut milk. This bread pudding is also very versatile and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add different spices, fruits, or nuts. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give coconut croissant bread pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
