Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding Recipe

Four words: Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding.

Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? Does it matter? One taste and I guarantee your answer will be, “No … and can I have a second serving?!” Croissant bread pudding is warm, chocolatey and one of the easiest-ever breakfast-slash-desserts to make. Simply cube chocolate croissants, soak them in a vanilla custard, and then bake off the quick-fix creation until it’s warmed throughout.

Serve the bread pudding with a simple shower of powdered sugar, or top it off with fresh fruit, a dollop of Secret Ingredient Whipped Cream, or my personal favorite, a big ol’ scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Feel free to get creative with different extracts, swapping vanilla for vanilla-bourbon, almond or even coconut for a touch of tropical taste.

Keep the sweet treat party poppin’ with more of my favorite chocolate dessert recipes, including Strawberry Nutella Hand Pies, Chewy Chocolate Brownie Bark, Cheesecake Brownie Bites and more crowd-pleasing favorites.

  1. 5 stars
    Absolutely amazing – making it for the second time for family and can’t wait to hear what they think. Family favourite for us already, thanks for sharing the wonderful receipt. So easy to make!

  2. sorry, i am always annoyed with comments saying “looks so good! can’t wait to make this!”…i much prefer the comments *after* the item has been made and they say “it IS so good! YOU should make this!” and maybe offer some tips/tricks…however, i have to be that dreaded commenter and say how great this looks ONLY because i have been searching for a chocolate croissant bread pudding recipe that *actually* uses CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS!!! every other recipe calls for plain croissants and THEN *adds* (grrrr) the chocolate! so THANK YOU!
    and I CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE THIS!❣
