CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING



Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding image

I love bread pudding and I love chocolate croissants. Why not combine them? My daughters love chocolate, so this was a winner in my house. It's like a combination of a soft-brownie-cakey-chocolate-chip-cookie with a bit of a creamy texture inside. It tastes good warm, as all melted chocolate desserts do, but even better cooled. My daughters couldn't wait to eat, so good luck holding out for it to cool.

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

70g (5 tbsp) softened butter, for greasing
6-8 croissants (crescent rolls), cut into large pieces
50g (1/3 cup) raisins
300ml (1 1/4 cups) double (heavy) cream
300ml (1 1/4 cups) milk
4 eggs
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
70g (1/3 cup) caster (superfine) sugar

Steps:

  • Generously butter an ovenproof dish that measures about 20 x 30cm (8 x 12 inches).
  • Arrange a single layer of croissant chunks, slightly overlapping, in the bottom of the dish. Scatter over some of the raisins, place another layer of croissant chunks on top and scatter over the remaining raisins. Press down gently with a fish slice or spatula.
  • To make the custard, heat the cream and milk in a saucepan until the mixture comes almost to the boil. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, ground cinnamon and sugar in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the mixture is thickened and the whisk or beaters leave a trail when lifted. Remove from the heat and beat in the cream mixture until well combined.
  • Pour two-thirds of the custard over the croissants and leave to stand for about 30 minutes or until they have soaked up all the liquid. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

Place the dish in a roasting pan and pour in enough water to come a third of the way up the side of the dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is just set and the top is golden brown.

6 chocolate croissants, very coarsely chopped
1 1/4 c milk

1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 large eggs
TRIFLE
1 box (6-oz) butterscotch pudding, cooked according to pkg. directions, then cooled
4 bananas, sliced
4 snickers bars, chopped fine
1 (12-oz) container whipped topping (i use 2 cups whipped cream)

Steps:

  • 2. Put chocolate croissant chunks in an 8x8-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs. Pour mixture over croissants. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • 3. Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • 4. Into the trifle bowl, add half of the croissant pudding. Spread it out evenly. Scoop in half of the butterscotch pudding, add a layer of banana slices and half of the chopped Snickers bars. Smooth on half of the whipped topping. Repeat the layers, ending on whipped cream, top with a final sprinkling of Snickers. (Don't add this last topping until just before serving.)
  • 5. Note: I can't find the chocolate croissants here in my little town, so I use regular, plain croissants and add about a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. One time I melted 2 squares of semi-sweet chocolate and mixed it in with the egg mixture before pouring over the croissants. Both work well.

Coconut Crunch Croissant Bread Pudding image

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
