How to Make Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Cut 8 croissants into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly across the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Gradually add ½ cup water to the egg mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture reaches a smooth, pourable custard consistency.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the croissant cubes, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
  6. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut and ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts over the top.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours, or until the pudding is set and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
