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.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING
I have never liked bread pudding because I can't stand the texture of soggy bread. But, since my husband loves it, I went on a mission to find bread pudding that wasn't soggy and I found the most delicious recipe in the Good Housekeeping magazine. It is heavenly!

CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
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.

Steps:
- Generously butter an ovenproof dish that measures about 20 x 30cm (8 x 12 inches).
- Arrange a single layer of croissant chunks, slightly overlapping, in the bottom of the dish. Scatter over some of the raisins, place another layer of croissant chunks on top and scatter over the remaining raisins. Press down gently with a fish slice or spatula.
- To make the custard, heat the cream and milk in a saucepan until the mixture comes almost to the boil. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, ground cinnamon and sugar in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the mixture is thickened and the whisk or beaters leave a trail when lifted. Remove from the heat and beat in the cream mixture until well combined.
- Pour two-thirds of the custard over the croissants and leave to stand for about 30 minutes or until they have soaked up all the liquid. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
- Pour the remaining custard over the soaked croissants and press down firmly with a fish slice or spatula so that the custard reaches halfway up the croissants. Place the dish in a roasting pan and pour in enough water to come a third of the way up the side of the dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is just set and the top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- If you don't have croissants, you can use another type of bread, such as brioche or challah.
- To make the bread pudding ahead of time, assemble the dish and refrigerate it overnight. Then, bake it the next day.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
