Golden Syrup & Clotted Cream Croissant Pudding
Description
This pudding starts with croissants torn into chunks, arranged in an ovenproof dish to catch the custard fully. The custard blends eggs, milk, and vanilla, while a mixture of golden syrup and clotted cream is warmed gently to combine the flavors before being mixed into the custard. The croissant pieces are soaked under the custard mixture to absorb moisture and flavor, resting at room temperature to ensure even soaking. Baking at 180°C allows the custard to set while lightly browning the top.
The final pudding has a tender, moist texture with a rich sweetness from the golden syrup and a subtle creaminess from the clotted cream. The croissants create a soft but slightly textured base that carries the custard well. Served warm, it offers a comforting dessert experience with delicate vanilla notes.
