Rich, delicious and packed with bites of chocolate! This decadent dessert is great for any occasion and the custard is to die for!
Happy fall everyone!
It finally feels like fall today with cooler temps, but when I was baking this new recipe over the weekend, it felt like summer! We had 80's and 90's over the weekend here in MN and it was a bit warm for me!
Cooler weather is perfect for turning on the oven and baking comfort foods whether sweet or savory. Sweet doesn't make an appearance here too often, but when it does, it has to be good enough for me to share!
This one is defintely good enough. In fact, more than good enough.
Plus, it's a great excuse to get together again with my blogging buddies for our recipe challenges. This month's theme? Desserts! YES!
If you remember some of our past challenges, then you know they were pretty fantastic!
We've done berries, pasta, chocolate, apples, no bake desserts, chicken, strawberries, and lemon!
All of the recipes in these challenges are tasty and from some very talented people, so click over on each category and explore!
What makes this bread pudding so unique?
The croissants! Croissants are delicious by themselves or we love to make breakfast sandwiches with eggs, cheese and ham. But using them in a dessert like this is something special, extra special.
I LOVED every fattening, delicious bite of this heavenly bread pudding and I'm craving more. Don't judge, once you give it a try, you'll feel the same way, promise!
I even brought one to share with my co-worker and she couldn't get enough either! See, it's not just me! 😉
It's not overly sweet, and has the perfect amount of chocolate chips! I also love that these are individual servings, making it fun and easy to serve! I used 2 cup baking dishes, but 1 cup size would be perfect for a smaller dessert.
So fun for holidays, special occasions or dinner parties!
I hope you'll click over, check out all of these great recipes and say hi to my blogger buddies!!
I know I can't wait to give them a try! 💛
Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Croissant Bread Pudding
by
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 8 small or 4 large day old croissants
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Dice croissants and divide evenly between mini baking dishes. Scoop 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into each dish on top of the croissants.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Then add the sugar, beat for 3 minutes.
Add vanilla, cream and milk, mix well.
Evenly divide egg mixture between baking dishes and use a spoon to press croissants down into egg mixture.
Place baking dishes into a 9x13 glass baking dish. Pour 1/2 inch hot water into 9x13 pan to make a water bath.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until custard is set.
Serve hot from oven, or cool and refrigerate serving later with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
Note: I used 2 cup mini baking dishes

These look fantastic! I love that they are individual. I will have to give these a try with gluten free bread!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks good. Moist and creamy. Luscious! I would love to make this to impress my family at Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible! I love how easy it is too. I want to try this over the weekend. can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Huge yum!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for when I buy the Costco size package of croissants but only need a few...dessert the next day!!! yes!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dessert. And fabulous photos! Bet it tastes even better than it looks.
ReplyDeleteI know I am late to the game, but I just want to point out that nowhere does it say HOW MANY mini baking dishes or servings this is! I wanted to adapt it to just using one 9x13 baking dish but wanted to be sure it was enough for at least 6 servings. :-) So you may want to specify both #of servings, and how to adapt it to 1 baking dish (and what size baking dish). Looks delish, though!
ReplyDeleteI apologize. It does say 4 servings next to the ingredients, but I will update to make it more specific to the number of baking dishes. It should be enough for 6 smaller servings with the 9x13 baking dish. Thanks
