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.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING



Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding image

This bread pudding is warm, chocolatey and one of the easiest-ever breakfasts/desserts to make. Simply soak chocolate croissants in a vanilla custard, then bake them off until warmed throughout. You can serve the bread pudding with a dusting of confectioners' sugar or top with fresh fruit, whipped cream--or my personal favorite, a big ol' scoop of vanilla ice cream. Feel free to get creative with different extracts in the custard: swap in vanilla-bourbon, almond, or even coconut for a tropical touch.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Okay, if you don't make a single other dessert from this book, make this bread pudding. It is DECADENT and FABULOUS. I made it one day and put it on my Instagram story and I don't think I've ever gotten so many DMs asking for a recipe (but I waited until now to share it!). This is my nod to Meryl Streep making chocolate croissants for Steve Martin in It's Complicated, the inspiration for this entire book.

Time 25m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 croissants, cut into quarters, widthwise
2 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
8 squares (8 ounces) of bittersweet baker's chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the croissant pieces on a baking sheet and toast until just golden. Remove and set aside. Reduce oven to 250 degrees.
  • Combine the cream and vanilla bean in a pot. Heat to just below the boiling point (about 185 degrees) -- the cream should be foaming but not boiling. Remove immediately from heat.
  • In a bowl, stir the egg yolks and the sugar with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the bowl, until the mixture is lemon colored.
  • Stir the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Put the combined liquid into a clean pot and bring to about 185 degrees, stirring and scraping the bottom to reheat (do not boil). Strain through cheesecloth.
  • Arrange the lightly toasted croissant pieces in 6 ovenproof soup bowls. Cut the chocolate squares in half and distribute the pieces over the croissants. Spoon the hot custard mixture over them. Cover the bowls tightly with plastic wrap. Place them in a roasting pan holding enough water to cover the bottom. Bake for 15 minutes. Before removing plastic wrap, pierce it with a toothpick to let out the steam.
