We had more dessert than actual food on Thanksgiving, and this chocolate croissant bread pudding I made tasted like a slice of heaven! I’m pretty sure I saw the face of Jesus while eating it. This will probably happen again for Christmas.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding<\/strong>
\nAdapted from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n3 extra-large whole eggs
\n8 extra-large egg yolks
\n5 cups half-and-half
\n1 1\/2 cups sugar
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
\n10 chocolate croissants (I used a box of 10 from the Vons bakery)<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Set the custard mixture aside. <\/p>\n

Slice the croissants into 1-inch cubes. In a 10 by 15 by 2 1\/2-inch oval baking dish, distribute the cubed croissants evenly. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down gently.<\/p>\n

Place the pan in a larger one filled with 1-inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn’t touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
