How to Make Croissant Bread Pudding With Brandy Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut croissants into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and brandy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the croissants, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the croissants to absorb the liquid.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Pour the croissant mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  8. While the pudding is baking, prepare the caramel sauce. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir. Cook until the sugar is melted and amber in color.
  9. Carefully add the cream (stirring constantly) and butter. Simmer until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the brandy.
  10. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Drizzle generously with the caramel sauce and brandy cream sauce.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
