Croissant Bread Pudding

If you love bread pudding as much as I do then making them with croissants will blow you away! It brings in the best taste and texture and you won’t want to make this any other way again! The croissants really add to the bread pudding by soaking in all of the delicious flavors. And when you add in that vanilla sauce on top, well, it just takes this to a whole new level! Plus, you can change it up by topping it with some Homemade Blueberry Syrup, or Homemade Imitation Maple Syrup instead! Croissant bread pudding is a delicious take on traditional bread pudding. Using croissants instead of bread really makes this recipe a lot lighter in texture. This means that you can eat more, which I always consider a good thing! I also love that I can use my stale croissants to make this recipe. They don’t need to be fresh and then the ones that I already have don’t have to go to waste! It’s the perfect solution. It makes an excellent hot and sweet breakfast or brunch option! Go ahead and try it, I know that you will love it!

Ingredients in Croissant Bread Pudding

Made from ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, this croissant bread pudding is so easy! See the recipe card below for a list of exact measurements.

Whole milk: You can use 1% or 2% but the whole milk will really give it an excellent taste and texture. Heavy cream: This ingredient makes it thick and easy to soak up into the croissants.Eggs: Make sure that you use eggs that are at room temperature so that they mix in better! Granulated sugar: The sugar brings in a delicous and sweet taste.Vanilla extract: This will add a flavor to the sweetness of the sugar! Salt: Salt enhances the flavors of all of the other ingredients! Cinnamon: Cinnamon is a must in this dish! It adds so much to the flavor.Croissants: Make sure that when you are cutting up the croissants that they are cut into 1 inch cubes.

Vanilla Sauce

Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe. Granulated sugar: Using granulated sugar will really create a yummy taste and thicker texture in this sauce. Heavy cream: It makes the sauce thick and creamy!Vanilla Bean Paste: Using a vanilla bean paste will really bring an amazing and distinct flavor. But, if you don’t have the paste you can use vanilla extract instead!

Let’s Start Baking!

This croissant bread pudding is so delicious and simple! It takes about an hour and a half from start to finish and most of that time is spent soaking and baking.

Stale croissants: Croissants are a huge hit for breakfast in my house, but they tend to lose their appeal after a few days. Once they begin to get stale (usually by day 3) they are perfect for this recipe! Acting as buttery sponges for the custard base of this bread pudding, they soak everything in making the taste and the flavor absolutely delightful!Milk and cream: Using both milk and heavy cream for the custard base will give your bread pudding a silky, rich texture. You can use 4 cups of milk and no cream if you would prefer it a little bit lighter.Let the bread soak: Giving your croissants time to soak in the custard mixture before baking will give it time to really absorb the liquid. If you don’t allow it to soak long enough you may end up with dry pieces throughout your pudding.

Refrigerator: Once your bread pudding has cooled, store it in an airtight container or cover it with foil. Then, you can store it in your frige for up to 3 days.Reheating: You can reheat an individual piece by putting it in the microwave for 45 seconds or until it’s warm! Or, you can reheat the entire pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and cook it (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes until it is heated through.
