How to Make Coconut Croissant Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Cut croissants into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly along the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup coconut milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons water until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.
  5. Let the bread pudding sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours, in the refrigerator, allowing the bread to fully absorb the custard.
  6. Before baking, sprinkle generously with ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut and ¼ cup chopped macadamia nuts.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
