  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large croissants (preferably day-old for best texture)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar or whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the croissants into bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the croissant pieces. Feel free to add more chocolate or chunks for extra richness.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this custard mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. The chocolate will be melted and gooey.
  5. Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or whipped cream for an elegant presentation.

Notes

  • For a richer taste, add extra chocolate or use chocolate chunks.
  • Best served warm with optional toppings like powdered sugar or whipped cream.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
