Croissant Bread Pudding

5 / 5 (5 reviews)

Light, airy, custardy and just so delicious. This is bread pudding perfection made with croissants and topped with an amazing bourbon-butter sauce.

Chef's Notes


The recipe can be scaled down and still comes out great.
Raisins on top can burn, so try to push them down.
Re-heat individual bread pudding portions in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
Rum can be substituted for bourbon in the sauce.
Brioche bread or challah can be used instead of croissants.

Sue ★ 5.0/5

I made this for New Year's party and I would give it a rating "Excellent"
On a scale of 1-10. It's a 10+. I use orange zest instead of raisins. Try it with the sauce....yummy.

RJ ★ 5.0/5

This is an amazing recipe as I've made it numerous times now. I've now mastered my own personal recipe and substituted the raisins for white & dark chocolate chips. I added 5 tablespoons of bourbon and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the actual BP mixture. Then I make more sauce that the recipe calls and double the bourbon amount. I found that using Kerry Gold butter and Jim Beam bourbon works the best. Jim Beam has that distinctive sweet bourbon taste, while being within budget as well. I'll be adding espresso to the mixture next time, as I love coffee.

Cheers
