I make this every year for christmas and no matter how much everyone has eaten already...they always find room for this dessert... super easy and super popular... Ingredients:
6 cups lightly packed bite-size pieces chocolate croissant (from about eight 5 1/2-inch croissants) |
6 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 2/3 cups milk |
1 cup heavy cream |
2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. In a large baking pan dry bread, uncovered, at room temperature 12 hours. (Alternatively, dry bread in a 250°F oven 1 hour.)
2. Butter a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
3. In a bowl whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla, and salt and pour slowly and evenly over bread. Cut butter into bits and dot pudding with it. Chill pudding, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Bake pudding in middle of oven until slightly puffed and golden, about 40 minutes.
6. Serve pudding warm or at room temperature.
