Ingredients
- 2 Cups milk whole
- 2 Cups heavy cream
- 8 large egg
- 2 Cups granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 2 Teaspoons cinnamon
- 12 croissants cut into 1 inch cubes, one day old
Vanilla Sauce
- ½ Cup butter unsalted
- 1 Cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Add the croissant cubes and mix together until the croissants are fully coated in the cream mixture. Let it sit for 25-30 minutes, stirring about 15 minutes in.
- Once the croissants have soaked pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the custard, is set and the croissants are starting to brown. While the bread pudding is baking prepare the vanilla sauce.
- In a medium saucepan combine the butter, sugar, and cream. Whisk constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
