CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
6 chocolate croissants, very coarsely chopped
1 1/4 c milk
1/2 c sugar
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:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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.

  • Use a variety of fillings to create a flavorful trifle. Some popular fillings include fruits, berries, pudding, and whipped cream.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Try using different types of bread, fillings, and custards to create a unique and delicious trifle.
  • Make sure to chill the trifle for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
