Units
Scale
- 6 large croissants, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the croissant pieces evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate, pressing gently to ensure the croissants absorb the liquid.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to fully soak.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey treat, drizzle melted chocolate on top before serving.
- Add fresh berries or whipped cream for a fruity twist!
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
