How to Make Warm Milk Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cut croissants into 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, gently toss croissants with melted butter ensuring all pieces are coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Add the chocolate chips to the milk mixture and stir until combined.
  5. Pour the milk mixture over the croissants, ensuring all pieces are well-soaked. Gently stir to combine.
  6. Let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the croissants to absorb the liquid.
  7. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar (optional). Serve warm and enjoy!
