Chocolate
Croissant Bread Pudding Recipe
I didn't start
off as a big fan of bread puddings, but one time I found myself with a large
surplus of croissants and decided to get fancy with them. This dark chocolate
croissant bread pudding became special to me the minute I tasted it.
Ingredients :
4 large eggs,
lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups 2%
milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange
juice
1 tablespoon
grated orange zest
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
Dash salt
1/2 cup dark
chocolate chips
4 croissants,
cut into 1-inch pieces
How To Make Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding :
Preheat oven to
350°. In a large bowl, whisk the first 9 ingredients until blended. Stir in
chocolate chips. Gently stir in croissants; let stand until bread is softened,
about 15 minutes.
Transfer to a
greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake until puffed, golden, and a knife
inserted near the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Serve warm.
