Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 6 Chocolate Croissants Substitute with brioche or gluten-free pastries if needed.

  • 2 cups Milk Use whole milk for richer flavor or almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Substitute with almond extract for a different flavor profile.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Adjust according to chocolate type, as dark chocolate may require less sugar.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. Slice chocolate croissants into bite-sized pieces and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer croissant pieces in the dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the croissant pieces and gently press down to help them absorb the custard.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, until the custard is set and golden brown.
  6. Allow the bake to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with whipped cream or fresh fruit.
