For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur, such as Frangelico or Kahlua, to the milk mixture. If you don't have day-old croissants, you can use fresh croissants. Simply cube them and let them air dry for a few hours to stale them slightly. For a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a muffin tin or baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Using a paring knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean halves into the milk mixture. Stir until the seeds are evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth and pale yellow. (5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Gently fold the chopped chocolate croissants into the milk mixture, ensuring that all pieces are thoroughly moistened. Allow the croissants to soak in the mixture for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, to fully absorb the liquid. (10-30 minutes)
04
Step
20 mins
Fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon the croissant mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups or baking dish, filling each to about three-quarters full. (5 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the pudding is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center, approximately 35 to 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached. (35-45 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. This allows the pudding to set and the flavors to meld. Before serving, gently transfer the bread pudding to a serving plate or platter. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar for an elegant finishing touch. (30-60 minutes)
