How to make Croissant Bread Pudding:

  1. Start by making the homemade custard by whisking eggs, brown sugar, sugar, half-n-half, and vanilla together. This can also be done in the blender and it makes the custard mixture extra smooth.
  2. Cut the croissants into large bite-size pieces. Spray a 10 x 15 or 9 x 16 or 10 x 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread croissants into the pan.
  3. Pour custard over the croissants and let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the croissants to soak up the custard mixture.
  4. Place the pan into a larger pan, filled with 1-inch of hot water. This is going to allow the bread pudding to temper and not overcook.
  5. Cover the pan with foil, tenting the foil, to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes with foil on. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and allow the bread pudding to bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes longer. Watch for the bread pudding to puff up and the custard to set up.
  7. Make homemade vanilla sauce by melting together butter, brown sugar, sugar, and heavy cream until thickened. Add in vanilla.
  8. Serve croissant bread pudding with vanilla sauce.
