Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large croissants, preferably day-old and sliced into thirds
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk or heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Fresh berries and whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Arrange the sliced croissants evenly in the prepared baking dish, covering the bottom completely.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate evenly over the croissants.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants, ensuring all pieces are soaked for best flavor absorption.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the custard is set and the top turns golden brown.
Notes
- Use day-old croissants for optimal soaking and texture.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces for even melting and gooey pockets.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the sugar amount based on preference.
- For a healthier option, substitute with almond or oat milk.
- Add nuts or fruit to customize flavors.
