directions

  • Spread the croissants in a large baking pan. Dry, uncovered, at room temperature for 12 hours or heat in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Butter a shallow V/2-quart baking dish. Arrange half the croissants in a single layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle half the chocolate evenly over the croissants. Top with the remaining croissants.
  • Whisk the eggs, sugar, milk, 1/2 cup of the cream, vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; pour over the croissants. Cut the butter into pieces; dot over the croissant mixture. Chill, covered, for 1 to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the pudding on the middle rack for 40 minutes or until slightly puffed and golden. Melt the remaining chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup cream and a pinch of salt. Cook until well mixed, whisking constantly. Keep warm, covered.
  • Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature with the sauce.
  • Yield.- 8 servings.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love Recipezaar! I have found many great recipes on this site! Since I've found zaar, I've been spending more time making recipes from zaar than I have from my dozens of cookbooks. What can I say....zaar members post darn good recipes! I wish that I could spend more time cooking but I tend to keep meals simple because I work full time as an Microsoft Exchange E-mail Administrator and I spend the rest of my time taking care of my three year old toddler. He demands so much of my time that I don't have as much time to cook as I used to. My favorite hobbies are collecting recipes and photography. I am an amateur photographer and I take pictures at almost every chance that I get. The picture that is posted on this page is a self portrait.
