Ingredients

  • 4 pcs almond croissants(stale, torn into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 cup milk(full-fat)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 pcs large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds(toasted, for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar(for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup berries(fresh, for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease four individual ramekins or oven-safe pudding cups.
  2. Arrange the torn almond croissant pieces evenly in the prepared ramekins. Do not overcrowd.

Making the Custard

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  2. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the croissant pieces in each ramekin, ensuring the croissants are soaked.

Baking

  1. Place the ramekins into a larger baking dish. Fill the larger baking dish with hot water, reaching about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This creates a water bath (bain-marie) which helps the pudding cook evenly and prevents it from cracking.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  3. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Serving

  1. Dust the warm or chilled pudding cups with powdered sugar and garnish with toasted slivered almonds and fresh berries before serving.

Tips

  • Using slightly stale croissants helps them absorb the custard better without becoming soggy.
  • The water bath is crucial for a smooth, creamy custard.
  • Serve warm for a comforting treat, or chilled for a refreshing dessert. Both are delicious!
