Louisiana Croissant Bread Pudding image

Bread Pudding of any kind is my husband's favorite dessert. This is one that he loves and it is so easy to make. This is also great with a melted chocolate topping. I simply melt a package chocolate chip pieces in the microwave and drizzle over the bread pudding when it comes out of the oven. It is great either way!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk ( 14 oz)
5-6 c croissants, torn into small pieces

1 c chopped pecans
1/2 -1 c raisins (optional)
1 stick butter (melted)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 eggs, slightly beaten

pinch of salt

  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3. In a medium sized bowl,combine, cream, sweetened condensed milk, slightly beaten eggs, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Blend well.
  • 4. To the liquid mixture add the undrained fruit, chopped nuts, and raisins (optional). Blend together well and pour over the torn croissant pieces. Stir to throughly coat the coissant pieces.
