Croissants are made from a laminated dough, meaning layers of butter are baked right in, so either fresh or slightly stale croissants make a decadent dessert.<\/p>\n<p>Apple butter and raisins are layered in the middle of the croissants before pouring a rich egg custard over the top.

Fresh in-season fruit, like blueberries or cherries, can also be sprinkled in after the custard is added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve it with sauce: <\/strong>Bread pudding is often topped with a sauce. Try your favorite vanilla sauce or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salted caramel sauce<\/a>. Drizzle it over the pudding before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Croissant Bread Pudding<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover bread pudding can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make croissant bread pudding ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Bread pudding is a great make-ahead dessert. After pouring the custard over the croissants, refrigerate up to overnight before baking.<\/p>\n<h2>Croissant Bread Pudding Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2026158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Croissant-Bread-Pudding_TOHD24_97140_JuliaHartbeck_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Closeup of croissant bread pudding after a portion has been scooped out\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I substitute another type of milk or cream?<\/h3>\n<p>What dairy you use will determine the richness of the custard. The recipe calls for 2% milk, but whole milk would be fine. Alternatively, you could combine a lower-fat milk with a little half-and-half or cream to make it more luxurious.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I cut in butter?<\/h3>\n<p>The trick for cutting in butter is to start with very cold butter and dice it into small pieces. If your butter has warmed up while cutting, pop the diced butter back into the fridge. A pastry blender is designed to quickly do the job by cutting the butter into smaller and smaller pieces and letting them get coated in flour. If you don&#8217;t have a pastry blender, two knives or a fork may be used.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know when the bread pudding is done?<\/h3>\n<p>A knife inserted in the center will come out clean, but even before testing that way, the center should not appear wet or jiggly, and should be slightly puffed up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classic bread pudding is given a boost with the addition of buttery croissants, spiced apple butter and a brown sugar streusel topping.
