Croissant Pudding with rum ice cream sauce

Tried out this Croissant Pudding with Rum ice cream sauce and received good feedback during our Christmas dinner.   Didn't have a chance to document this so decided to serve this once again for my family.

What you need:

110g unsalted butter 

100g sugar

1½ tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

5 large eggs, lightly beaten 

2½ cup heavy cream 

12 croissants 

80g raisins

120g bittersweet chocolate chip

Method:

Preheat oven to 180℃.   Lightly butter a 9X13” baking dish.  Cut the croissants into 1” pieces.

In a food processor, combine butter and sugar and blitz until well blended.

Add in cinnamon and vanilla and pulse.

Pour in the eggs and blend.

Add in heavy cream and pulse.

Lightly butter the baking dish.  Layer the croissants into the pan.

Scatter the raisins and chocolate chips.  Gently mix to incorporate.

Pour the egg mixture over the croissant.  Let it soak for 10 mins.  (Push down every 3 mins to soak the croissants to soak the croissant evenly).

Cover with foil and bake for 35 mins.

Remove foil and bake for another 10 mins until the top is brown and the custard set.

Allow to cool and serve with Bourbon Ice Cream Sauce.
