Ingredients
- 3 large croissants preferably 1-2 days old
- ¾ cup Nutella
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp table salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Chopped Pecans or walnuts, hazelnuts, or mini chocolate chips (optional toppings)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Butter or grease a small baking dish, such as a 9x5 loaf pan.
- Slice each croissant in half lengthwise and spread one side with Nutella. Place halves back together to make "Nutella sandwiches." Cut each filled croissant into 2-inch pieces.
- Place sandwich pieces into prepared baking dish. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine eggs, cream, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar, whisking to combine well.
- Pour custard over the croissant sandwich pieces, gently pushing bread down so every piece is soaked with custard. Allow custard to sit and absorb for approx. 10-15 minutes.
- Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking 10-15 minutes more, or until top is golden brown and bread has risen/puffed up. Liquid should appear completely absorbed.
- Let sit to cool about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve with berries for brunch, or ice cream for dessert.

- For the best texture, use flaky croissants that are a day or two old. They will soak up the custard without becoming too mushy.
- Allow the croissant pieces to sit in the custard for 10-15 minutes before baking. This gives the bread ample time to absorb the custard and results in a creamy pudding.
- Let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows it to set and makes it easier to cut into neat portions.
- If you have any leftovers, they can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

- Serve with a dollop of Stabilized Whipped Cream or a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream for extra decadence.
